Dear Trinity Church,

Each year on Kick-Off Sunday, we gather with excitement and hope to begin a new chapter in our shared journey. In these moments, I pray that we reflect on just how much Trinity Church enriches our lives. More than a place of worship; Trinity is our spiritual home—a source of strength that sustains us through the many seasons of life. Faithful stewardship calls us to recommit ourselves to this sacred place, our church home where we gather, grow, and serve.

Stewardship means not only maintaining the physical walls of our beloved church but also nurturing the spiritual and communal bonds that make Trinity a true home for all of us.

To continue this important work, we need your support. Your generosity helps us expand our ministries, care for our sacred space, and ensure that Trinity remains a beacon of hope and faith, both in Princeton and beyond.

As we embark on our 2025 stewardship campaign, I invite you to prayerfully consider how you will support Trinity Church. Whether through financial gifts, volunteering your time, or sharing your talents, every contribution strengthens the fabric of our community and moves us closer to fulfilling our mission. You may make your pledge online here; stewardship letters have been sent via US Postal Service as well.

I am profoundly grateful for all the ways you have supported Trinity Church in the past, and I thank you in advance for your continued generosity. Together, we can embrace the opportunities and meet the challenges before us, ensuring that Trinity remains a welcoming and vibrant spiritual home for all. To that end, I ask you to prayerfully consider making a pledge for the 2025 calendar year. 

Thank you for your faithful generosity and commitment to our beloved Trinity Church.

Forward we go - Journeying together in faith!  

With blessings and gratitude,

Archbishop Desmond Tutu was known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist. His social and political perspectives and his theological efforts to bring eleven ethnic cultures into one communion are integrated into his thoughts in each section on the Anglican Order of Worship, as captured in the Rev. Michael Battle’s book Reconciliation. Join Bonnie Bivins in the continued discussion of how this understanding relates to our worship of the Holy Eucharist.

We will meet in the Flemer Library on Sunday at 9:30 AM.

October 21, 11:30am

Trinity intern Noa Bolmenäs, a senior at the seminary with an interest in the Old Testament, will be talking about his studies. As an experiment, we will start at 11:30 instead at noon. We will have time to eat and chat and meet new friends and old.
On November 18, our other Trinity intern Richard Pryor will be joining us.
December 16th will be a surprise…
Don’t forget to come earlier, and bring your lunch!

Grief is one of life’s most profound experiences. Many of us are simply not prepared for the level of sadness, isolation, and vulnerability that often result after losing someone we deeply love. We have expanded our gatherings and will offer two separate groups. Please join us as we share our journeys of grief, supported by God’s grace, Scripture, and one another.

Gatherings will be held in Nassau Presbyterian Church’s Conference Room.

Father Paul Jeanes lives in the house next to the parish hall.  Join him, vestry members, and fellow newcomers for refreshments and fellowship.  Then at 5 pm, feel free to join us as we walk next door to the church for the evening prayers said during Compline.

Elections for four new vestry members will be held during the Annual Meeting on November 10.  Any baptized and confirmed parishioner who has pledged is eligible for nomination.  Vestry members serve a three year term. 

If you love Trinity Church and would like to serve on its governing body, we encourage you to nominate yourself by contacting the co-chairs of the Vestry Nominating Committee, Melissa Scott (mebscott@comcast.net) and Chris Leavell (cleavell@gmail.com).  If you'd like to nominate someone other than yourself, feel free to contact Melissa and Chris with your suggestion. 

Trinity Church has a number of groups for formation and fellowship, and we invite you to join us to grow in friendship and in relationship to God. This year, we hope to move our fellowship groups to a set monthly meeting day and time. If you're already a member, or if you'd like to be a member, sign up at the links below and indicate what days and times might work best for you. We need to ensure that everyone who should be on our email lists is on them, so please sign up!

The astonishing sound of the Ndlovu Youth Choir first enchanted the world five years ago during the choir's successful run on America’s Got Talent. Now we are fortunate enough to be able to see them in person, right here on the stage of Richardson Auditorium. Don’t miss the chance to watch South Africa’s finest young performers, supported by, and performing with, the Princeton University Glee Club!
