Hello, we would like to introduce ourselves . . .
We are a people gathered to take seriously our common commitment to Jesus Christ and to live out our discipleship joyfully in a community of people we call Trinity Episcopal Church.
When you join us for worship, you will be greeted and given a bulletin that will help guide you through the order of the service. Services start at 10:00am on Sundays. Service of Holy Eucharist typically lasts about an hour. Service of Morning Prayer is usually half an hour.
After service, please join us for refreshments and fellowship downstairs in Morrill Hall. A chairlift is available if needed.
We would love to welcome you, wherever you are in life.
If you would like more information about Trinity or how to join or get involved please see a church member or send an email to secretary@trinityware.org.
Message from the Senior Warden
The beach has always been a special place for me, one of joy and peace, to find rest and to just be. When I was younger, my mom took me and my sister to York Beach in Maine quite a few summers. Since Emily was a baby, we have gone to Cape Cod for our family vacations. There is something about standing on the shore, the waves lapping at my feet, feeling the sand beneath, that grounds me to God. I took a moment last week at our favorite beach to breathe in the salty air and listen to the breeze blow through the sea grass, watching sea gulls scurry and looking at the shells and such on the tide line.
I love to collect the small smooth stones that you know have spent quite a few years tumbling in the surf. I call them wishing stones and have always told my kids that you can rub your fingers over them and give your wishes (and even your worries) to God. There is a dish beside my bed that belonged to my grandmother that holds some of the bigger ones I have found (or Tim or the kids) over the years. Perhaps my most special one was found near Misquamicut when I was about 4. We went on a trip with my grandparents and I found that one with my grandpa, probably where the idea started.
Somewhere in my beach bag is the special one I brought back this year, rubbed and prayed with over a few quiet moments. God shows himself when we need him, where we are. It can be a smooth stone or a piece of sea glass or shell. Maybe it is just a quiet moment spent listening to the birds in your yard or feeling the sun on your face. May God's grace find you wherever you are today. He is never far away.
His Peace be with you-
Suzanne
