Every year, Faith Kasor travels to Liberia in December to give back to underprivileged girls and women, leading workshops that promote healthy lifestyles, education, build self-esteem, enhance family relationships, explore talents, and raise awareness of abuse and conflicts. She will be leaving on December 31st and hopes to collect supplies and funds for her trip before then. Support her by donating school supplies and women’s hygiene products or by making a financial contribution by December 25th. Reach out to Faith at palavahut452@gmail.com with any questions or to learn more about how you can support her on this trip.
We are collecting donations of new and lightly used shoes for our homeless memorial on December 20th! Winter shoes would be ideal, since the shoes will be distributed to community members after the event. Please bring donations by Monday, December 13th. Reach out to cotg@trinitynewhaven.org with any questions. Thank you!
Give back to the Chapel on the Green community! This year, Trinity is giving out Christmas Gift bags at Chapel on the Green on Sunday, Dec. 19. We will not accept pre-assembled gift bags, but rather contributions to the bags such as: new socks, gloves, word searches, and hygiene products. We are aiming for a total of 80 bags. Donate by Dec. 12. Contact cotg@trinitynewhaven.org with questions. Thank you!

After the busy weeks of Advent and Christmas, it is time to pause, to rest from our travails, to go inward, and to enjoy deepening our relationships with God and community. We will celebrate new beginnings, leave the old behind, become aware of God’s presence always. Our time together will include prayer, large and small group discussions, fellowship, periods of silence, spiritual practices, time to enjoy the beauty around us, and of course lunch. We hope you will return to your life refreshed, renewed, reborn, recharged to go out into the world with new intentions to make it a better place.
Deadline for registration is January 3, 2022.
Once we have a list of attendees we will work on carpooling.
COVID-19 protocol: Masks are mandatory at MbtS.
