"The beauty of it struck me, stopped me cold. I thought about all the people that helped put it together, and I started tearing up." The Rev. Phillip A.

"In order to create new things, sometimes we have to let go of the old things," said the Rev. Matthew Welsch at today's newly imagined 9am service at Trinity Church. "In order to make space for the world that God promises, a world full of love and justice and fairness for all people, we have to let go of the things that aren't like that."
"We celebrate St. Francis because it reminds us of our connection to nature and the animals in nature," said Fr. Michael Bird. Before the feast of St. Francis, patron saint of animals and ecology, we’ll thank God for all creation in a short service that includes a blessing of each animal present.
