Sunday School

Sunday School resumes this week.

This week's lesson: The Crosses. "A cross is an important symbol for Christians and reminds us of our relationship with God and Jesus."

I wonder what you think of when you see the Cross and its connection with Easter?
I wonder what are some of the “crosses” you’ve had to carry in your life?
I wonder what else reminds you of your relationship with God and Jesus?

Trinity Parish Continues to Follow 'Mask Friendly' Protocols

The Trinity 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.

Pledging During a Pandemic

Thank you to all who continue to send in your pledge! Your faithfulness in keeping up your pledge helps Trinity Parish stay “in the black” during this time, and we are grateful. Pledges may be mailed to Trinity Parish at 11 Homer St., Newton Centre, MA 02459.
