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 April:    "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man also has come the resurrection from the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive." Corinthians 15: 20 - 22

Rev. Tom Furrer serves as Trinity’s pastor, beginning January 1, 2019. He serves the parish on a part-time basis as a “missional priest” and is present on most Sundays and two days during the week.  He is a “people person” and is always ready and willing to sit and talk with anyone about life in general and whatever struggles or joys or sorrows people are going through. He is married to Maryjane (since 1976) and together they have raised three daughters and now have two grandchildren. Maryjane works as a Marriage and Family Therapist. 

Prior to coming to Trinity, Tom has been a priest in the Diocese of Connecticut since 1986 and has served at Trinity Church in Tariffville from 1986 to 1988 as assistant pastor and 2000 to 2016 as rector (senior pastor) and as rector of St. Paul’s in Huntington from 1988 to 2000.

Tom leads medical missions for 6 weeks out of every year in which he brings volunteers from the US to work alongside of the medical staff at each of the clinics to serve thousands of poor people with medical care.
