Volunteer sandwich-makers needed! Come make sandwiches for Chapel on the Green parishioners at 12:30 on Sunday in the undercroft! All supplies will be provided—we just need some extra hands. Depending on how many people we have, it shouldn’t take more than an hour. It’s July 4th weekend, so if you’re in town and could help, that would be incredible!   Please email Lisa at cotg@trinitynewhaven.org for more information or to sign up!

On Sunday, June 12th, we need your help to make and serve sandwiches at Chapel on the Green! We will gather at 12:30 pm in the undercroft to assemble approximately 100 sandwiches. Trinity will provide the supplies—all you have to do is show up! If you would like to make cookies or bring something else special for the Chapel on the Green parishioners, you are welcome to do that. As always, the service will take place at 2:00 pm, lunch will happen at 2:30, and cleanup happens between 3:00 and 3:30 pm. We would love to have you with us for any part of that process. If you are interested in volunteering with us on June 12th, please contact Lisa Levy, Outreach Coordinator, at cotg@trinitynewhaven.org. Thank you!

Going on a pilgrimage has always been about finding a way of renewal, healing and restoration by walking to and visiting a sacred site. After two years of this pandemic, God knows we are all ready for renewal. In a way, we have all been pilgrims during this time of hardship, struggling to make our way through the fog of pandemic rules, virus fears, and, for those of us who contracted the virus, charting our path toward recovery.

Our Trinity pilgrimage to France from June 14-28, 2023 will connect with this basic desire for renewal, but unlike an ordinary pilgrimage, the focus will not be on merely reaching sacred sites, carrying backpack and camera. Rather, this pilgrimage will focus on sensory inspired contemplation, as suggested by Psalm 34:8: “Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.”

Find out more at an informational meeting, in the church’s undercroft on Sunday, June 12, after the 10:30am service. Come and see, listen and learn about a sampling of sites we will visit, such as Paris, Chartres, Vézelay and Taizé. Our meeting will be accompanied by a sampling of French pastries! This pilgrimage concept is conceived as a small group travel format. The maximum number of participants, therefore, is set at 25 people. Pricing per person will be +/- $3000.00. (Airfare is additional.)
