Please be aware of the following important information concerning access to areas of the Trinity Church Campus:
- HVAC works are now in full progress in the basement of Cox Hall. The basement is closed to everyone except the contractors from 8:00am each Monday to 5:00pm each Friday. Do not enter this area.
- CMSP Staff and music lessons have been relocated to other locations on the Trinity Campus during these days and times. You can find CMSP staff based temporarily at the Trinity Church Office.
- Cox Hall basement will continue to be open each weekend, especially for use by Trinity Kids and the Church Choir, each Sunday morning. However, please note that access to the basement on weekends is only via the staircase from the main floor level vestibule.
- The back (kitchen) stairs are closed off, and the basement access via the Breezeway steps is also closed - both are closed for the duration of the works, through mid-June 2024.
- The church (sanctuary) basement remains closed for reinstatement and plumbing works to be completed. No access is permitted to these areas at any time.
Thank you for your full cooperation with these requirements which are in place for your own safety and the safety of others.

Will you support the 2024 Trinity Hunt Country Stable Tour with a donation to help us defray costs and thereby helping to ensure that as much income as possible goes directly to support Trinity Ministries?
Fr. Jonathan writes and asks each of us to consider a donation, however large or small - your support would be gratefully received and would make a big difference! Read Fr. Jonathan's letter in full here.

Please note that both our Senior and Junior Wardens have new e-mail addresses as follows:
Brett Bibb, Senior Warden: seniorwarden@trinityupperville.org
Jonathan Catherwood, Junior Warden: juniorwarden@trinityupperville.org
Please amend/update your e-mail address books. Thank you.

Please look out for Renew & Restore letters which have been sent to many of our generous givers recently.
We are so grateful to those who read our appeal in Trinity Essentials and responded magnificently and brought forward or brought up to date their pledge payments! Please will you join them? These are vital at an exceptionally expensive time for Renew & Restore as we undertake some of the largest and most costly renewal and repair projects at Trinity.
You can help by making Renew & Restore pledge payments each and every month here.
If you have 2023 pledge payments outstanding we'd be really grateful if you could bring them up to date as soon as possible. Givers will be receiving a written reminder during the next few weeks.
If you've committed to make a 2024 annual gift, we'd love to talk to you about scheduling that for some time soon. Call Sophia Mirra, Director of Finance & Stewardship if you can help with this. 540.592.3343,
Your help and support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We've introduced services of both Morning and Evening Prayer at Trinity as follows:
Each Monday: Morning Prayer, 9:00am
Each Monday: Evening Prayer, 4:45pm
Each Thursday: Morning Prayer, 9:00am.
Each Thursday: Evening Prayer, 4:45pm.
This short, spoken service takes place in the side chapel of Trinity Church and lasts no longer than 15 minutes. Everyone is welcome to attend and take part.
If (as occasionally will happen) no one from the staff team is available to lead these times of prayer please continue by using the simple one-page, laminated guide which you'll find left in the side chapel at all times. This will guide you through the sections of this short service and includes page numbers and information on how to locate the scripture readings for the day.
We hope that these additional times of prayer will help to further bring a sense of focus for God's work here and to provide a rhythm to daily life and work at Trinity, which is not only a place of worship and pilgrimage for many, but a place of work, and home to several people who live on campus.

We apologies for the additional speakers and wires now in place in the church (they will remain in place for some time to come). Our sound system (which was already scheduled for a major upgrade) has failed and we have a temporary system in place until a new installation is complete.
If you would like to help towards the costs of the new sound system please give to our Renew & Restore capital campaign here. We continue to invite your support and gifts to our capital campaign as further projects are added to the list of works that are required here at Trinity, and as costs continue to rise. If you have yet to make a gift to Renew & Restore please give today! Thank you.

Are you All-In @ Trinity for 2024?
All-In for Stewardship is our 2024 Stewardship Campaign @ Trinity!
Everyone will have received a pledge information pack either in person at church or through the mail. We're asking everyone to return a completed 2024 pledge form as soon as possible so that we can begin 2024 with certainty and confidence in our annual budget. Please note that we still need you to complete a new 2024 Pledge Form even if you have simply rolled on your automated online giving over from 2023. Thank you.
In your pack you'll find a reflection from Fr. Jonathan on what it might mean to be "All-In" at Trinity; some great testimonials from some of our generous givers; amazing facts and figures about the difference your giving is making here; a helpful article looking at what is actually means to "make a pledge"; and a step-by-step guide to Pushpay our online church giving and management system.
You can read your digital copy of our All-in for Stewardship brochure here.
You can make your 2024 pledge online, in writing, or in person. Make your pledge here and make sure you're all in at Trinity for 2024!
Trinity, there is a place for you.

Look out for our new style welcome cards which you'll find in each pew and at the back of the church. If you're new at Trinity, please complete a card and place it in the offering plate or hand it to one of our church greeters as you leave the service. That way we can connect with you and formally welcome you and your family to Trinity and answer any questions you might have. Trinity, there is a place for you. | |
We're pleased to announce that we're now able to accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express card payments at the Parish Office for payment of general goods and services.
Please note that this does not concern financial gifts and giving which should continue to be given in the usual ways, if at all possible, using our online PushPay service. Thank you.
