Our parish survey indicated that we are interested in exploring how our faith should inform our response to the many social injustices present in our society. In order to have meaningful conversations on potentially controversial topics, we need to be able to be open, honest, and vulnerable with each other. Rev. D. and Roy McAlpine will help us explore the topic of how we can be “real” with each other.

We will be using Brené Brown’s 2010 Ted Talk “The Power of Vulnerability”.

We will watch the video together during the forum, but if you would like to watch it ahead of time, it can be found here.

A member of our parish, Jacqui Lucier has advanced kidney disease and is in need of a transplant.

As we pray for Jacqui, we also ask that you prayerfully consider being screened as a potential kidney donor. For more information about living organ donation and to sign up to be screened, please visit nkr.org/SBB483. Please encourage your friends and family to consider donor screening.

To hear Jacqui talk about her illness and need for a transplant, watch this clip that has aired on local news.

Trinity has a tradition of being blessed by a variety of voices from the pulpit. We are excited that several lay members of the congregation have offered themselves to share their theological reflections by preaching on Sunday mornings. To celebrate this gift and as a renewal of the tradition of a broader range of preaching voices, we will have a series of lay preachers during Lent, Holy Week, and the beginning of Easter, and they will continue to regularly be a part of the preaching rotation.

Congratulations to those choristers who were promoted to light blue Voice for Life level, and to dark blue Voice for Life level in The Choir School of Hartford!

You are invited to attend a service of Evensong will feature The Choir School of Hartford singing with other treble/RSCM choirs from First Church of Christ (Newington), St. John’s Episcopal Church (West Hartford) and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (Fairfield).

The service will feature choral works by Howells, McDonald, Plumstead, and Mendelssohn, and will be accompanied by Zachary Schurman on organ. The chapel is located on the Trinity College campus at 300 Summit Street in Hartford.

This blood drive is in honor of David Klein who was put onto the Trinity Prayer list last April when he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. We found out at that time that a major treatment for the disease included blood transfusions. Blood supply has been down due to Covid so neighbors, including Lily Miller, began to donate. While David is now doing very well with his treatments and we are hopeful that he will have a full recovery, there are still many in need of blood transfusions and the supply is still low.

For more information click here or contact Lily Miller.

The Great Vigil of Easter is a traditional time for Baptism, and this year it is on April 16^th. If you are interested in learning more about Baptism, please contact Rev. D. at 860-986-3289.

We pray for the people of Ukraine.

As we pray, you are strongly encouraged to support efforts to assist Ukrainian refugees by donating to the International Rescue Committee (www.rescue.org) or another reputable agency on the ground.

During the season of Lent, you are invited to join us on Wednesday night at 7:00 pm on zoom as we study Howard Thurman’s landmark work, Jesus and the Disinherited.

The central question that Thurman wrestles with is, “What does the religion of Jesus offer to those with their backs against the wall?” While this book was published in 1949, Thurman’s thoughts remain relevant today as we continue to seek to faithfully follow Jesus and share his Good News in a world that desperately needs it.

Christ Church Cathedral invites members of the Parishes of the North Central Region of the Diocese to collect weekly one personal care hygiene item for each week of Lent (March 6-April 17) to benefit the Capital Community College (CCC) Food Pantry.

While many college students are beneficiaries of SNAP Vouchers (formerly called Food Stamps), the vouchers do not allow for the purchase of personal care hygiene products.
