If you would like to make a memorial contribution toward the purchase of Trinity’s Christmas poinsettias, please pick up a Christmas memorial envelope from the Narthex. For names to be included in the Christmas Eve order of service, envelopes must be received in the parish office by this Wednesday, December 18.
Volunteers are needed to ready the church for our Christmas Eve service on Tuesday, December 24. We will especially need help carrying up candelabras from the basement, as well as polishing silver, hanging wreaths, setting out poinsettias, etc. If you are able to assist the Altar Guild in this important yearly function, please speak to Donna English.
The Seraphim Singers, a Boston choral ensemble noted for its programming of challenging sacred music, advanced technique, and attention to critical topics, including homelessness, climate change, racial justice, and other social issues, will perform at Trinity next Sunday, December 22, offering a program titled "Light from Deepest Heaven," featuring works by John Rutter, Timothy Takach, and local composers Daryl Bichel, Graham Gordon Ramsay, Patricia Van Ness, and James Woodman. Contact Trinity's Music Director, Joshua T. Lawton, for more details.
The parish vestry voted in 2022 to go "mask friendly"; that is, unless otherwise indicated, masks are optional at Trinity Parish. Please note that, pending further guidance from the Diocese and local infection rates, the church may in future return to requiring face coverings for in-person gatherings.
Located at 11 Homer Street in Newton Centre on the lower level of Trinity Church, the Pantry is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a member of the Greater Boston Food Bank. It is open most Tuesdays from 2:30–5:30pm and the third Saturday of each month from 11:30am–2pm.
New households are asked to fill out the Online Pantry Registration Form or print and fill out this paper form. If you live in Newton and wish to be added to the CSFP delivery list, send an E-mail with your name, phone number, city, and family size.
