Image Permission Forms

Please have one person from each household fill out an image permission form in the Dunbar Room for the new year 2024. This form lets Trinity know your preferences regarding your image being published on the various communication platforms like Facebook, E-Weekly, etc. Please also let the office know if you explicitly DO NOT give your permission for images to be used. Names of minors will never be placed next to images used.

Parish Directory Update

A hard copy of the current parish directory has been placed in the Dunbar Room for your convenience. Please take the time to look at your entry in it to update any of our contact information. When complete, we hope to publish this contact information in a printed booklet as well as a secure part of the parish website. Please stay tuned for more information.

New Parish Initiative: Lending a Hand

We invite you to take part in a new initiative that we are establishing at Trinity. Using the online service Lotsa Helping Hands, we are organizing a group of volunteers who are willing to help fellow parishioners based on needs that arise. Go here for more information.

Trinity Parish Continues to Follow 'Mask Friendly' Protocols

The parish vestry voted in 2022 to go "mask friendly"; that is, unless otherwise indicated, masks are optional at Trinity Parish. Please note that, pending further guidance from the Diocese and local infection rates, the church may in future return to requiring face coverings for in-person gatherings.
