Weekly Announcements • April 24

Sunday School

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 Going Mask Friendly April 14

The Trinity Parish Vestry has voted to go "mask friendly" effective immediately; that is, masks will be optional at Trinity Parish beginning on April 14, including during the "The Great Three Days" — the liturgy of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and The Great Vigil of Easter. Please note that, pending further guidance from the Diocese and local infection rates, we may in future return to requiring face coverings when we gather in person.
