Consecration Sunday, held in 2022 on October 23, is the day in which we are invited to make a pledge of financial support to Trinity Parish for the coming year. Our Eucharist that day will be followed by a catered luncheon—weather permitting outdoors—to celebrate our giving. Pledge cards were handed out last Sunday, and may be turned in at the end of the Consecration Sunday service or, if you need additional time to pray and discuss, the following week.
This week's lesson covers the Ark and the Tent: “They put a fence made of cloth that could be rolled up and carried with them when they traveled. It marked the whole special area called the tabernacle. God gave Aaron and his sons these words to bless the People of God: ‘The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up his face to you and give you peace.’”
I wonder how you find God’s peace in your life?
I wonder why the tabernacle is so important?
I wonder if there is something in your life that is very special and worth protecting?
We will celebrate All Saints on Sunday, November 6. All Saints is the feast in which the Church remembers the one communion and fellowship of saints, both past and present, and it is traditional to remember in the order of service that day loved ones who have died. If there are deceased whom you would like to be remembered in the order of service, please send their names to the parish office by Wednesday, November 2.
The Trinity Parish Vestry voted to go "mask friendly" effective immediately; that is, masks are optional at Trinity Parish as of April 14. 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.
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.
