It’s hard to believe that a month has now passed since our first forays into Worship-From-Home and using Zoom for formation and community gatherings.

What a Grace-filled Palm Sunday we shared yesterday! More than 150 people joined us bright-and-early for our live, Liturgy of the Palms services, and as many as 1,000 people worshiped with us live at 9:45 a.m. Likewise, we enjoyed teeming Community Hours and Formation programs, concluding with the launch of our evening read-alouds of C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce. Thanks be to God!

The Greek word ekklesia is often translated as “church” or “a people assembled.” When most of the world thinks of a “church,” they imagine the bricks and mortars of a building rather than a people gathered. How many times have you told someone you go to Trinity Church only to have to explain that there is indeed a vibrant people assembled within one of Boston’s most treasured and iconic buildings?

Greetings and peace to you! I write to share an update about programming at Trinity. Please see below for some initial details about how we are preparing to gather virtually and continue our rich opportunities for formation, even as we socially distance ourselves. While our new situation has its challenges, we recognize that God continues to work in and through us even in the bleakest moments, and that God does not leave us to face these challenges alone. We believe continuity of our parish programs can remind us of God’s constancy. 

By now you will know that we are offering worship live "from Trinity" on Sundays at 11:00 am versus "at Trinity" for the next several weeks.  If you missed Sunday's service, it has been posted online here. In our first foray into this format, we were working out the kinks of the technology in real-time.  Please keep watching and trust that the sound will be sorted.
