Weekly Announcements • February 26

Sunday School

This week's lesson: Circle of the Holy Eucharist. "Next we all come very close to the table. We join the priest in lifting up our hearts and our hands to offer the prayer of Great Thanksgiving to God. When we share the Bread and Wine, we see how greatly God loves us, and we want to share that love with the whole world."

I wonder how you see Jesus in the Holy Eucharist? 
I wonder who you would bring to the circle of the Holy Eucharist?
I wonder why it is important to reflect on the Holy Eucharist as we prepare for Lent?

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.
