We will honor Moms at all Services, but especially at 10:30 AM when the Family Worship Service, usually held in the Undercroft, comes into the Nave! This interactive, shorter service introduces our youngest parishioners to Episcopal rites and traditions with easier-to-understand Scripture, song, and prayers. This is a Holy Eucharist Service for all ages.

On Sunday, May 7th our Girl and Boy treble choristers will travel to New York City for the day (their adult singers will remain behind to sing our 9 and 10:30 am services, conducted by our Organ Scholars). They'll attend the 11 am Eucharist at St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, where Boys Alum Frankie Segger is currently serving as Head Chorister, Following the service, they'll be the guests of the St. Thomas Boys for lunch at the Choir School on West 58th Street. They'll then head uptown to the Church of the Heavenly Rest (pictured), 1085 Fifth Avenue (corner of 90th Street), where they'll join the Choristers and other choir members of CHR for Choral Evensong at 4:00 pm. All are invited to make a trip into the City that afternoon to join us for Evensong. The Director of Music of CHR is Trinity Organ Scholar Alum Janet Yieh, who is already distinguishing herself in her first few years of leadership in that storied Upper East Side church.
Pastoral Care Committee
The Pastoral Care Committee meets every other month to discuss interpersonal and programmatic ways that we can support one another, in our community. The next Pastoral Care Committee meeting is Tuesday, May 2 at 5:30pm on Zoom. Email Rev. Heidi Thorsen for details, if you are interested in joining: hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org.
Food insecurity is at its highest ever, with the cost of essential food rising with no end in sight. Please consider picking up an extra non-perishable item or 2 to bring to church. I usually look at the aisle caps for things on sale, such as soup, beans, cereal, or peanut butter. There is also a need for personal care items, such as toothpaste, soap, and feminine care products.
There will be a basket at the back of the church which will be brought to the altar with the collection.
Donations will be delivered to the Milford Food Bank each week.
Any questions, contact Gloria Hoda 203-430-4066
No singing experience required! We're bringing our Family Worship Service upstairs on Mother's Day (May 14) and need your help! Our famed choir director, Walden Moore, is leading a choir of families to sing a simple hymn that day along with Trinity's choir. We have two rehearsals at 9:30 AM in the Undercroft to help us prepare: this Sunday and again just prior to the Mother's Day Service. All are welcome to join us. Contact Angela Arpino with questions: Family@TrinityNewHaven.org.
Trinity Book Group is meeting in person on Monday, May 8th at 4:00pm at the home of Veronica Soell, in Guilford. A zoom link will also be available. The group will be discussing The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race, by Walter Isaacson. A compelling account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and more.
Please contact Jenny Briggs

New or Experienced Acolytes: Adults, teens, and children are invited to explore this special way to serve God and our community. Acolyte Training takes place on Sunday, May 7 at 9:40 AM. Rev.

St. Michael’s Ukrainian Church is organizing regular shipments of everyday supplies to people in Ukraine, who are daily affected by war – and Trinity is invited to participate in this important work. We are partnering with other Episcopal Churches in the South Central Region to collect the following items:
Coloring books & Crayons
Dry Milk
Dried Fruits
Disposable tableware
Toothpaste/toothbrushes
Any items you contribute can be placed in a collection box in the Narthex (front entryway). We will participate in this drive through the season of Eastertide (ending on May 28, Pentecost) – though the need is much greater than that. If you are interested helping to pack items at St. Michael’s, or contributing other items as well (there is a much longer list of needs that St. Michael’s has shared!) be in touch with Todd Lane (contact Rev. Heidi to be put in touch with Todd – hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org).
"This year's Spring Concert, I Was Glad - Songs of Dedication will contain a great variety of choral music, both sacred and secular. From the opening with a sacred anthem used at every English coronation since that of Edward VII in 1902 to a much more recent secular song (made famous by the group Voces 8) about the good luck of finding love with a particular person, this concert explores a wide variety of emotion through music. Among other varied compositions included will be Benjamin Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb and Elaine Hagenberg’s When We Love, a paean to the power of love for one another as an example of the visible love of God.
Come and join Trinity’s Rector, The Rev. Luk De Volder, for a series of conversation on the Mission of our parish. The pandemic has brought numerous changes to our parish life. It is time to revisit and renew the mission that we envision for ourselves here at Trinity on the Green, downtown New Haven. As a faith community we seek to serve a number of needs. Renewing our sense of mission will help both long term parishioners as well as our numerous newcomers to land on the same pager regarding our focus and ministry at Trinity.
Join us on Sunday May 21, May 28, and June 4, at 11:45am in the Undercroft.
Are you interested in reading the lessons during our 7:45am, 9am, or 10:30am worship services? We are always looking to have a variety of voices from the lectern! Email Rev. Heidi to get involved: hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org
