Great Pumpkin Challenge Begins - Message from the Rector
The Great Pumpkin Challenge was founded by Mackenzie Page when she was in eighth grade at the Newtown Middle School in 2011; she was inspired to support her friend, Zoe McMorran, who was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Other Activities
Our outdoor labyrinth remains available for your use at any time for prayer and reflection. It is behind the gazebo at the far end of the memorial garden.
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.
