Held annually in the undercroft of Trinity on the Green, the Christmas Market brings together handmade crafts, plants, bulbs, cookies, jams and preserves, soups to-go, a tag sale, jewelry, and more. A labor of love by the parish, all proceeds from the 2024 Market will go to support the restoration of Trinity's much-beloved and lauded pipe organ, a 1928 Aeolian-Skinner (Op. 927, lovingly nicknamed "Sister Soosie"), which is in need of some expert attention after nearly a century of loyal service to the Trinity community.

The Consort will sing music by Peter Phillips, Thomas Weelkes, and Giovanni Gabrieli.

Everyman’s Isle  by Neil Olsen is a one act, 40-minute religious parody of reality television shows based on the classic morality play The Summoning of Everyman.

The play takes place on the set of the reality TV Show Everyman’s Isle, as the Producer (God) sends the Critic (Death) to kick the star of the show Everyman off the island (the Earth). Everyman is stunned; he tries to find others who will go to the final corporate audit (the grave and judgment) with him. What follows is both fun and food for thought!

Tickets for this fundraiser are $25. Sponsorships (which include 2 tickets) are $100. Tickets will be sold after each Sunday service and during office hours; cash or checks accepted.  Tickets may also be purchased online HERE. 

The Cast includes Neil Olsen, Cecil Tengatenga, Jeff Klaus, Warner Marshall, Chuck Kaywood, Donna Violante, Rich Lamere, John Hoda, Allan Atherton, Jeanne Kerr (Asst. Director), Rev. Robert Sandine (Director).
