Dear Trinity friends,

Greetings from the village of Chilham, where I am about to walk to Canterbury and take your prayers with me. I wanted to share a few moments of my travels so far. Check out the videos below, and see the pictures for more detail. I didn’t want to disturb people by making videos inside churches, so I took pictures instead.

In Christ,

Connor Fluharty

Dear Good People of Trinity Church,

It is with great pleasure that I announce that Connor Fluharty has accepted the position as our Associate Director of Music.  Since 2017, Connor has served at Trinity Church as Organ Scholar and most faithfully as our Interim Director of Music during a difficult time of transition. We are incredibly blessed to have Connor continue his ministry with us as we now live into a new season of life and possibilities. Please join me in welcoming and congratulating Connor in his new role.

Peace to all,

Calling all who love to sing! Trinity Choirs are kicking back off after Labor Day, and we would love to have you join us.  We have opportunities for singers of all ages, and we’re excited to welcome you to join us. If you’re interested, please reach out to Director of Music Meg Harper at harperm@trinityprinceton.org.  

The usher guild urgently needs new members for both services, to maintain our normal 5 week rotation (and hopefully to expand to 6 weeks). Primary usher duties are to provide a friendly greeting, to pass the collection plate, and to help guide parishioners to the communion rail. Ushers can request to serve at either the 8am or the 10:30am service, and training is included. To join this rewarding ministry, contact Spencer Reynolds, Head Usher, at sreynolds92@gmail.com.

Linked below is the Registration Form for Trinity's Church School, and for Youth Group, restarting in September 2023!

Church School meets on Sundays at 9:30–10:20am and is geared toward children ages 3-10, from PreK–5th grade. Emily Pruszinski teaches Church School with help from our clergy, interns, parents, and teen volunteers. 

Youth Group meets on Sundays from 6-7:15pm and is geared toward pre-teens and teens ages 11-18, from 6th–12th grade. Our wonderful Lay Pastoral Associate, Wesley Rowell, will co-lead Youth Group this year with Emily Pruszinski. 

Parents and Caregivers — If you are interested in volunteering to help run classes, bring snacks, wrangle sheep at the Christmas Pageant, we welcome your help! There are options listed below for both weekly and seasonal events. If you have any questions, please email Emily Pruszinski (pruszinskie@trinityprinceton.org).

Complete the questions in the attached form to register your child for Church School on Sundays for the 2023-2024 school year. Please fill out a separate form for each child you are registering.

Trinity Church is once again soliciting donations to our school supply drive for Homefront. This year we've set a stretch goa—100 backpacks full of supplies!

We have the backpacks, but it’s up to you to fill them. See the Amazon wish list and have your donation delivered to 'Kara's List Address' on the menu, or you can enter the church address manually: 33 Mercer St, Princeton NJ 08540.

P.S., I know you’re reading this announcement right now thinking, “This sounds great, I need to remember to do it later.” You don’t need to remember if you click the link right now!

Let’s shoot for 100! We can do it!
