This Weekend at Trinity Episcopal Church

Sunday, September 18

Commissioning of Choirs & Stephen Ministry Leaders
Preacher at both services: The Rev. Donald L. Hamer, Rector

11:30 – Annual Ministry Fair – Goodwin Hall & Church
The Ministry Fair is the traditional start of our program year. Dozens of parish ministries and organizations set up displays in the parish hall where they welcome you to stop by before or after the service and find out about what they do and how they do it. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the ministries that take place here at Trinity and consider if there are any of them that you would enjoy participating in.

NEW SERVICE PROVIDED… New this year will be a Ministry Career Counseling Service. This is like a matchmaking service to connect people with ministries that are a good fit for them. If you are interested in finding a new ministry to become involved with, stop by for a consultation session with the Ministry Career Counselors. The service is free, and there is no obligation to take their advice. This service will be located in the baptistery.

MINISTRY QUADRANTS… Recently, the church’s ministries were organized into four quadrants: Worship, Christian Formation, Parish Care and Outreach. At the Ministry Fair, you will find that the displays in Goodwin Hall will be arranged according to those categories. We will also have tables for Annual Appeal, Property Committee, Choir School of Hartford and Trinity Day School. We’ll even have a Parish Office display, where you can update your contact information.

CHURCH SCHOOL REGISTRATION… One important part of the Ministry Fair every year is registration for Sunday School, Journey to Adulthood and Confirmation class. If you have a child, this is a great chance to find out about the programs and get your child registered.

9:oo p.m. SUNG SERVICE OF COMPLINE. The ancient service of Compline is a contemplative service of psalms, canticles, scripture and prayers; the last monastic office of the day. The Trinity community is offering Compline on the third Sunday of each month. For more information, contact Bert Landman at 860-527-8133 or at blandman@trinityhartford.org. (Note: Entrance to the church will be through the Sigourney Street entrance only.)
