Want an early look at the fantastic items for our 2024 Christmas Market?. For $30 come enjoy a glass of champagne, some nibbles, and purchase items at the Market before the crowds arrive on Friday. Thursday, November 21, from 6-8 p.m.

Held annually in the undercroft of Trinity on the Green, the Christmas Market brings together handmade crafts, plants, bulbs, cookies, jams and preserves, soups to-go, a tag sale, jewelry, and more. A labor of love by the parish, all proceeds from the 2024 Market will go to support the restoration of Trinity's much-beloved and lauded pipe organ, a 1928 Aeolian-Skinner (Op. 927, lovingly nicknamed "Sister Soosie"), which is in need of some expert attention after nearly a century of loyal service to the Trinity community.

Join us for a special service of Choral Evensong on Tuesday, November 19, at 5:30 p.m. sung by the Yale Consort. Yale Consort, a newly formed professional vocal ensemble conducted by Professor James O’Donnell and sponsored by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, provides high quality choral music for a series of evening services in local parishes and chapels. The Consort will sing music by Peter Phillips, Thomas Weelkes, and Giovanni Gabrieli.

On Sunday, November 3, we offer our annual Choral Eucharist for All Faithful Departed, featuring Maurice Duruflé's Requiem (Op. 9) sung by the Choir of Adults & Girls and the Boys Choir.

Once again, The Trinity Players will offer a special theater event, raising funds for Trinity ministries.  The event will take place on Saturday, November 2, at 6 p.m. in the Trinity Undercroft.

Everyman’s Isle  by Neil Olsen is a one act, 40-minute religious parody of reality television shows based on the classic morality play The Summoning of Everyman.

The play takes place on the set of the reality TV Show Everyman’s Isle, as the Producer (God) sends the Critic (Death) to kick the star of the show Everyman off the island (the Earth). Everyman is stunned; he tries to find others who will go to the final corporate audit (the grave and judgment) with him. What follows is both fun and food for thought!

Tickets for this fundraiser are $25. Sponsorships (which include 2 tickets) are $100. Tickets will be sold after each Sunday service and during office hours; cash or checks accepted.  Tickets may also be purchased online HERE. 

The Cast includes Neil Olsen, Cecil Tengatenga, Jeff Klaus, Warner Marshall, Chuck Kaywood, Donna Violante, Rich Lamere, John Hoda, Allan Atherton, Jeanne Kerr (Asst. Director), Rev. Robert Sandine (Director).
