Godly Play
As you may have noticed, Godly Play has changed in
location and start time. On most Sunday mornings, the
children are to go directly to the Godly Play room on
the second floor prior to the beginning of the service.
On Sunday mornings when there are baptisms, the
children come to church with their families, then go to
Godly Play after witnessing the baptism. An acolyte
will lead them to the Godly Play room. Parents will be
guided by Vinnie, Trinity’s Security Officer, and
ushers.
Compline
Trinity will offer Compline at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday,
October 19. You may choose to sit in the candle-lit
chancel or in the darkened nave for the 20-25 minute
service. The Sigourney Street doors will open at 7:50
p.m.

All Saints’ Bulbs Requests
Again this year, Trinity is offering its members and
friends the opportunity to donate flower bulbs in
memory of departed loved ones. For a suggested
offering of $1, you may name a person in whose
memory a bulb will be planted. Please send your
contribution for the bulbs and the form (found on the
communication tables in the back of the church and in
Goodwin Hall) to the parish office by Tuesday,
October 28.
Warm Clothing Collections
Throughout October
The Outreach Team is hosting a drive throughout
October to collect new and gently-used warm clothing,
(coats, shoes, boots for children and, adults and new
t-shirts and socks, especially for men) through next
Sunday, October 26. These items will be distributed
by those at Christ Church Cathedral, as part of their
"Church Street Eats" feeding program. A collection
table will be in Goodwin Hall where items may be
dropped off.
Discernment
This Sunday continues a period of discernment for
each member to consider how he or she will support
God's mission for Trinity Church. Each week a
member of the parish will share their thoughts on
stewardship during worship continuing today with
Casey Rousseau.
As part of the discernment process the annual appeal
team is recommending that each parishioner read the
book Thrift and Generosity: The Joy of Giving by John
Templeton Jr., and the wardens’ report to the
congregation (available on line at trinityhartford.org).
Several parishioners have offered their homes for
book discussions. There are still some spaces left if
you would like to attend a book discussion and share
your thoughts. If you haven't signed up for a book
discussion yet, please contact Lily Miller at
millbabins@aol.com.
"Remember that the person who plants few seeds will
have a small crop, the one who plants many seeds will
have a large crop. We should each give then as we have
decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty, for
God loves the one who gives gladly and God is able to
give you more than you need, so you will always have all
you need for yourselves and more than enough for every
good cause." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8.
