Spotlight on the Dorothy Day House
Upcoming Dorothy Day dates: June 15, July 20, August 17
Every third Tuesday of the month, a small dedicated crew of Trinity parishioners gathers on Spring Street in Danbury. They come with foodstuffs to prepare and a determined purpose to feed anyone hungry who chooses to stop by between 3:00 pm and 4:30 pm. Dorothy Day House is one of the few spots where this population is met with warmth and caring. There are some poignant discussions held at the window. These are men and women with lives that have taken twists and turns. There but for fortune, so go most of us.
The number of hungry food seekers ranges between 50 and 100 tired souls. (continue reading)

Trinity Sunday @ Trinity Church! - Message from the Rector
What a joy it was – on Pentecost Sunday – to receive the gift of God’s re-awakening Spirit “together in one place!” What fun it was to take photos, documenting that moment we opened those historic red doors!
This Sunday, May 30th, we celebrate God’s Trinity – a reminder that we are all inter-connected and tangled up together as community – even as the ways we experience God are interwoven and inter-tangled! Please join us. (continue reading)

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.
