Dear church family, 

After 2 years, 7 months, and 15 days, a new-to-me kidney has been found! I will be undergoing a kidney transplant on Thursday, May 30th. The procedure will be done at Hartford Hospital under the leadership of Dr. Morgan and his A+-rated surgical team. I cannot thank you enough for your continued prayers for me and my family, through this journey of a lifetime. I am so humbled and blessed by your love and support. Now, I have been instructed to “wrap myself in a bubble” and stay put until the surgery so as not to risk exposure to unwarranted germs. For this reason, you will not see me, in-person, for a while. But I will return stronger, healthier, and wiser (with my passport in hand)! 

God’s peace, 

Jacqui Lucier, Warden

Cystic Fibrosis Walk on May 18, 2024

Hello all! Kate and Drew Smith’s Cystic Fibrosis walk will again be held at Riverfront Park, Glastonbury, on Saturday, May 18th, 10 am.

Our granddaughter Sarah was born 14 years ago with Cystic Fibrosis and is doing quite well now. She has started taking the new drug Trikafta, has grown several inches and 2024 has a purple streak in her hair!

Team Strolling for Sarah does its annual walk, about 3 miles or one hour, to support the Great Strides program which raises research dollars for this genetic lung and digestion disease. The new drug Trikafta treats some of the causes for her illness and not just the symptoms.

If you cannot walk we hope you will support us at our website http://fightcf.cff.org/goto/Kate-Smith

or mail us at1898: 106 Vista Way Bloomfield, CT 06002.

Thanks so much, Kate and Drew Smith

Vestry Meeting – Tuesday, May 21 at 7:00 PM on Zoom

Vestry meetings are open to any member of the parish. Members of the parish are especially invited to bring concerns and feedback to the Vestry during the “Feedback from Congregation” section of the meeting which begins at about 7:20/7:30. (The first 15-20 minutes of the meeting are a time of reflection and connection).

Members who choose to do so are welcome to come only to the beginning of the meeting to share concerns or are welcome to stay for the entire meeting. Please note that if there are conversations that are confidential in nature, visitors to the meeting will be asked to excuse themselves for that portion and then will be invited back in. If you are interested in attending, please email wardens @ trinityhartford.org for the Zoom link.

Trinity Book Club

Trinity's Book Group will gather on Friday, May 31st to discuss Up Home: One Girl's Journey by Ruth J. Simmons. "Simmons’s evocative account of her remarkable trajectory from Jim Crow Texas, where she was the youngest of twelve children in a sharecropping family, to the presidencies of Smith College and Brown University shines with tenderness and dignity.” All are welcome to attend! The meeting will be hosted by Martha Freimuth at her home; please let her know if you plan to attend. (lems.cove@yahoo.com; 860-605-0703) It promises to be an evening of sparkling conversation and delectable treats!
