Chapel in the Garden Resumes Sunday, August 29th
This Sunday, September 19th, we will be hosting conversation with Bishop Ian in place of Chapel in the Garden. Join us!
Donate
We welcome our friends near and far to donate to the ministries of Trinity Church. You can donate online through the Vanco system. If you need help setting up an account contact the church office by email or phone. You can also mail a check to Trinity Church, 36 Main Street, Newtown, CT 06470.
Two Labyrinth Events
The Genesis II team is hosting two labyrinth walks, one for Trinity members after church on September 12 and one for community members on Tuesday, September 21. Walking the labyrinth is an ancient tradition that has been rediscovered in the last twenty years because it is a gentle, soothing way to relax, think or pray. Our labyrinth is easily accessible through the memorial garden.
On Sunday the 12th experience the power of walking the labyrinth with others. Come whether you are a frequent labyrinth walker or this is your first time. Genesis II members will be there to provide guidance.
To share our gifts at Trinity with our neighbors, on Tuesday September 21, the Autumnal Equinox, the Genesis II team will host a labyrinth walk for the public between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. Please help us spread the news and invite someone to come.
We are looking for “labyrinth ambassadors”, people who can help host labyrinth walks. If you are interested in learning more, contact someone on the Genesis II team (Rev. Andrea Wyatt, Sue Roman, Nancy Cole, Christina Lye, Jean Maurice Calmels, Frank Brill, and Karen Wojtowicz).

Resource from Stephen Ministry
The Stephen Ministry Team at Trinity was privileged to conduct a Zoom meeting on Caring for Ourselves and Others in Times of Anxiety & Pandemic
For the benefit of the parishioners who were not able to attend, we have attached the handout package (see .pdf) for your reference. The subject matter is appropriately framed in a spiritual context and highlights answers to these questions:
· Where do we find God in these disastrous times?
· What are the emotional triggers of anxiety and stress?
· How can we avoid “emotional hijacking?” and “catastrophizing”?
· How to turn the simple act of breathing into a prayer?
This package is intended to offer strength and healing and to deepen our connections with one another in our life in Christ together. We hope you will find it meaningful and helpful to you and to others whom you care about in this time of challenge for us all.
