O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving-kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A Message from Rev. D
Welcome Back!
We are so grateful to have this opportunity to worship together and see one another after such a long time!
8:00 AM Service
· When the weather allows for the 8:00 am service to be outside, people will be allowed to remove their masks while they are at their seat.
10:00 AM Service
· Masks are required to be worn by the congregation. A limited supply of masks will be available for those who do not have one.
· Restrooms in the Narthex are available if needed.
· Single-use Bulletins will be provided. Please either use the recycle barrels or take your bulletin home with you.
· Offering plates will be provided at the entrance and on a pedestal when
you are leaving through the South Narthex into the Close; plates will not be passed.
We will continue to stream the service live to YouTube and upload an electronic copy of the bulletin to the website. We want to make sure that folks who are not yet comfortable with in person worship and folks who can’t come in person are still able to be a part of our worshiping community.

A LETTER FROM A FORMER WARDEN
At our annual meeting on the 6th of June, we celebrated the return of in person worship and the triumphs encountered in weathering the unknowns of the past year. During the meeting Martha, the Vestry, the lay leadership, and I were all afforded wonderful accolades for the work done during this past year. And for all of this we are so very grateful.
It occurred to me, however, as the meeting was gaveled to a conclusion, that one important person was not acknowledged.
Nine months ago we were privileged to call a new rector. Upon her arrival she encountered the remnants of a major backup in Huntington Hall, an horrific break-in in her office and adjoining offices in the parish house. Soon a burst pipe flooded the main floor of Goodwin Hall and Huntington Hall (again), and all of this in the midst of the worst world wide pandemic since 1918. She was also greeted with Trinity’s complicated financial profile, the ins and outs of Trinity’s Quadrant ministries, a new Vestry, the navigational intricacies of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut (aka the Diocese), a new staff to include a brand new music director, and the task of safely guiding Trinity through the church season and into the new church year. All this in her first calling as a full time rector in a major urban parish.
Throughout, she has met these challenges with grace, humor, competency, and confidence. She has forged a willing, able, enthusiastic and supportive staff. She has brought us safely back into in person worship. In short, she has brought us home.
For all of this, we thank you, D.!
Blessings, Tom Oberholtzer

Transition to Eternal Life
James (Jim) Register, a member of our parish, departed from this life on May 28, 2021.
We extend sympathy to his wife, Mary, and the whole Register family and pray for the repose of Jim's soul, now in the nearer presence of our Lord.
A funeral for Jim will be held at Trinity on Saturday, June 19 at 10:00 AM.
Interment will follow in the church's Memorial Garden.
Father of all, we pray to you for Jim, and for all those whom
we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let
light perpetual shine upon them. May his soul and the souls
of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
Below is an obituary:
James (Jim, Jimmy) Lamar Register, 75, of Windsor, Connecticut, passed away on May 28, 2021.
Born on December 15, 1945 in Dublin, Georgia to the late Charles C. Register and Doris Scarborough Register.
As a young teenager, he moved with his family to Maryland. After graduation from high school, he returned to Georgia to attend Berry College in Rome, Georgia. Following college he moved to Atlanta and then to Macon, Georgia. Once again, he left the state of Georgia and relocated to Windsor, Connecticut.
He retired from Option Care in April of 2018. In all the various positions Jim held during his working career, his time spent at Option Care was loved by him the most.
One of the things he loved to do was share stories with others relating to his life, especially days spent on the farm in Dublin, Georgia. Also, spending time with his family was very important to him. A favorite poem of his was “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost. Many times he could be heard reciting the work.
Jim is survived by his wife of 53 years, Mary, son David and grandson James. Also, sister Patricia Edwards, brother Charlie Register and wife Mona, sister-in-law Patricia Patton and brother-in-law John Irby, as well as many nieces and nephews.
To honor his memory, a donation in his name can be made to Trinity Episcopal Church, 120 Sigourney Street, Hartford, CT 06105 as well as the Connecticut Humane Society, 70 Russell Road, Newington, CT 06111.

Church by the Pond June 19
Church by the Pond is the Saturday worship service companion to the “Church Street Eats” feeding program in Bushnell Park, both coordinated by Christ Church Cathedral. Trinity is one of a number of area churches who participate in this ministry, and have since it began 10 years ago.
Throughout the last year, Trinity volunteers provided lunches in our assigned months for those in need - even when we could not gather in person, or were very restricted - as part of our ongoing commitment to community service. In addition, Rev. D. has officiated in these months, since becoming our Rector.
Trinity’s next opportunity to serve in this ministry is Saturday, June 19.
As part of Trinity's reopening, we'll gather at the church to prepare bag lunches, observing the same mask and social distancing protocols as for in-person worship.
- At 12:30, we’ll meet in the Trinity kitchen and the library (We enter and exit only through 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 at 2:00, led by Rev. D.
- We'll distribute our lunches following the service, and should finish around 3:00.
Please come for as much of this time as you can – friends and families are welcome. Please contact me if you have questions.
Penny Pearson, on behalf of this ministry
