Church by the Pond on June 18 

Trinity's early summer opportunity to participate in this ministry led by Christ Church Cathedral is Saturday, June 18.

- We'll meet in the Trinity kitchen at 12:30 to prepare bag lunches, entering though the outside door to the kitchen.

- At 1:45 we'll bring those lunches to Bushnell Park, where we'll participate in the worship service by the pond, led by Rev. D.

- We'll distribute our lunches and personal care items following the service, and finish around 3:00.

All parishioners and families are welcome. Volunteers will observe mask and social distancing protocols while working in the Trinity kitchen, and are encouraged to do so at the park as well.

Please contact me if you have any questions, or to let me know you are planning to participate.

HOW CAN I HELP? DominGO! is one week away! Consider extending your Sunday worship time to include both fun and outreach by signing up to assist with set-up or take-down or to be an “ambassador” for a shift at one of our tables. You can have fun before or after volunteering by walking up and down Farmington Avenue and enjoying the street fair!

WHAT IS DominGO!? The City of Hartford is throwing a big party right on the church’s doorstep!

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT US? Trinity Church will be holding its normal 8 am and 10 am services that morning. Most of Farmington Avenue in Hartford will be closed to traffic – although cars will be allowed to cross on Sigourney Street at the direction of a traffic police officer. Our main parking for that day will be in the Salvation Army lot just north of the church on Sigourney Street. Please let those who have mobility issues park in the Ahern’s lot.

WHO CAN I CONTACT? If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Mark MacGougan, Valerie Pogue, or Cathy Rowe. 

These will be informal gatherings so come when you can and stay for however long you can. Hamburgers, hotdogs and beverages will be provided. Please bring either a side dish or dessert to share. Sign up forms are found here. Once you sign up, the office will contact you with Rev. D’s address. If you have challenges using the electronic sign up sheet, please contact Barbara in the office at office@trintiyhartford.org or 860-527-8133 ext. 204

Thursday Noonday Prayer and noon Eucharist services will take a hiatus during July and August.

Thursday, June 30^th will be the last Thursday noon worship until September.

O Spirit who makes captivity captive, making us the heralds of emancipation from slavery in all its myriad forms, we exult in thy deliverance which reached Galveston in 1865. Extend this tradition across our nation in breadth and depth. Liberate us from the injustice which continues unabolished, and enforce that reparation which has been proclaimed but not yet fully enforced. Show to us the jubilation of these forebears, a newfound mobility and self-determination, and keep alive in us the memory of a people whose hope is stayed on Jesus Christ, who reigns with thee and our Father, one God, now and forever. Amen.
