Trinity Episcopal Church

Welcome

 We are about to begin  celebrating our 150th anniversary as a Christian community. Our theme  for this milestone is three words: DO, LOVE, WALK from a famous  Bible passage from the book of Micah:  ‘ I have told you what the Lord  requires of you. To DO justice, to LOVE kindness and to WALK humbly with  your God.’  We welcome you to join us in this journey.


Bible verse for August

“The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the

world. He was in the world, and the world came into being

through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what

was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all

who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to

become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the

will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word

became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory,

the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:9-14
