This Week at Trinity

Weekly Announcements • October 9

October 9, 2022

Sunday School

This week's lesson covers the Great Family: “God was present at creation, blessing all that was made. Noah walked with God and was led by God’s presence to build the ark that preserved life. And then?”  

I wonder where you find God in your life?
I wonder where you are in the story or what part is about you?
I wonder what you love about your family?

Blessing of the Animals October 9

On the first Sunday following the Feast of St. Francis (October 4), Trinity Parish holds its annual Blessing of the Animals. Do you have an animal that you would like to take part in this rite? Bring him or her to the 10:00am liturgy on Sunday, October 9! Please have pets leashed or crated.

Trinity Parish Continues to Follow 'Mask Friendly' Protocols

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.

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.
