ANNOUNCEMENTS

Lighting the Trinity Tower

The historic spire of Trinity Church is lit nightly. When you contribute to the cost of lighting, you may memorialize a person who has passed or give thanks for an event, like an anniversary or birthday. The traditional offering is $50, but please give as the Spirit moves! Contact

Molly Chamberlain, Parish Administrator, or (401) 846-0660, to make arrangements. Tower lighting memorials are shared in the weekly ETower and Sunday leaflets.

How to have flowers at the Altar:

The Trinity Altar Society is happy to assist you in providing flowers as a beautiful symbol of what we offer to God in our worship. Whether to honor a loved one’s memory, to celebrate a special occasion, or simply in thanksgiving, it only takes a phone call or an e-mail to Chris Pimentel! We typically spend about $75 weekly on flowers, but we are grateful for donations in any amount! (Payment by way of check should be made out to the Trinity Church Altar Society or when donating online, under the Flower Donation tab.) cap5182@cox.net or
