Hello Trinity Friends!

 
After an incredible run of King Lear, Trinity’s sanctuary has been returned to its regular beauty.  Thank-you to all of you for your patience, your hospitality and your willingness to support the arts.  The cast and crew of King Lear have offered so many kind words about the Trinity community and I, for one, will miss having them here.  I am certain that we will be talking about King Lear for a long time to come.
 
This Sunday we worship, as always, at 10:30 am.  Come early and join us for a hymn sing at 10:15 am.
 
The following Sunday is our Mother’s Day Baptism Service.
