Trinity Church is once again soliciting donations for our Homefront school supply drive! Our goal is to fill 100 backpacks with 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 'Trinity Church 2024 School Supply Drive' on the menu, or you can manually enter the church address: Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ 08540.
This Sunday we will have a reception of gratitude for Wesley, showing him our appreciation for all he has offered and meant to this community. Volunteers are needed! Please come to help set up. Email Carol Thomas (carolbrooksthomas@gmail.com) to sign up. Cookies are also needed! Email Carol to sign up to bring cookies. See you Sunday!
During the coming months, we will offer opportunities to hear updates from our various ministry partners. UrbanPromise International (UPI) is one of these. The mission of UPI is to prepare emerging leaders to initiate, develop, and sustain Christian-based youth development organizations and to seed their new ministries as they serve vulnerable children and teens in our world’s most under-resourced communities.
One of these remarkable leaders is Dalo. Experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear Dalo's incredible story. Meet an extraordinary young woman who survived the unthinkable and transformed her harrowing experience into a powerful mission to protect other girls in Malawi. Join us on Sunday, August 18th, between services to be inspired by her strength and resilience. Don't miss the chance to be moved by Dalo's story and her unwavering determination. We hope to see you there!

Dear Friends:
Here at the Glee Club, we're very proud to announce that our upcoming 150th anniversary celebrations will kick off on November 15th with a performance in Richardson Auditorium by the unstoppable superstars of global a cappella - THE KING’S SINGERS - featuring a program of music curated specially for the occasion, and joined on stage by the Princeton University Glee Club for the world premiere of a new work by American composer Stacey V. Gibbs.
We have a limited number of tickets still available for this event, available at tickets.princeton.edu. We’d love to see you there!
The celebrations continue on Saturday the 16th with a gala concert featuring around 350 past and present members of the Princeton University Glee Club, all singing together. Tickets can be reserved at tickets.princeton.edu
To end the weekend, we will have a chapel sing of Fauré’s Requiem on Sunday the 17th at 2:30pm in the Princeton University Chapel. All are welcome to attend! This event is free and unticketed.
The Trenton Convocation of the Diocese of New Jersey will host an online Bible study this summer, and you're invited to join us! We have chosen Acts of the Apostles for our “textbook,” and will be hosting 6 sessions of learning and discussion. Each session will be hosted by one of the Trenton Convocation clergy (including yours truly) and held on Zoom. Starting on July 17th, we will gather Wednesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm and explore the different themes found within the writings.
If you're interested in joining the conversation, please contact the Rev. Amy Cornell (rector@stdavidscranbury.com) to register and get the details!
