Weekly Announcements • May 21

Sunday School

Please note that May 21 is the last regular Sunday in this Sunday School season. Stay tuned, however, that we may have a special guest on Trinity Sunday, June 4 (more information to be announced).

This week, we will reflect on the Story of Pentecost, which will be celebrated on May 28. "Suddenly there was a sound like a mighty wind rushing in to be with the disciples. It was the Holy Spirit. The disciples became so full of its power that they seemed to be on fire. They were so excited that people wondered what was going on."

I wonder how the disciples felt after encountering the Holy Spirit?
I wonder why fire is used as a symbol for the Holy Spirit?
I wonder how you feel the Holy Spirit alive in your life?

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.

Centre St. Food Pantry Wish List

Located at 11 Homer Street in Newton Centre on the lower level of Trinity Church, the Pantry is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a member of the Greater Boston Food Bank.  It is open most Tuesdays from 2:30–5:30pm and the first Saturday of each month from 11:30am–2pm.
