The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is looking for men to join them at 9 am every 2nd Sunday of the month. They meet from September to June. All men are welcome to attend the meeting on Sunday, September 14. Come find out what the Brotherhood of St. Andrew is all about.

Trinity's Book Group will begin its new season in September with a discussion of Amish Grace:  How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy, written jointly by Kraybill, Nolt and Weaver-Zercher.  In 2006, in a horrific incident, a man executed 10 girls in an Amish schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, PA.  What shocked the media was the immediate and genuine acts of forgiveness by the Amish. The authors tell the story and the reader learns a great deal about the Amish and how their Christian faith guided their response. 

The meeting, starting with dessert, will be on Friday, September 26, from 7 - 9 pm. It'll be hosted by Mark and Linda MacGougan at their West Hartford home. All Trinity parishioners are welcome to be part of Book Group, whether for one session or regularly.  

After taking a summer break the Trinity Drumming Circle has resumed meeting on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 pm. If you are interested in learning about African drumming or joining the Drumming circle, give it a try. 

 New members are always welcome. Questions? Call Bert Landman at 860-527-8133 ext. 205.
