Emergency Services Sunday at Trinity Lime Rock -- 2007
At the suggestion of parishioner Jane Canfield, in 2007 the parish determined to dedicate a Sunday to honoring the volunteers in our communities who respond first in the face of danger or disaster. All local first responders were invited, and we were delighted to welcome the Falls Village fire company and ambulance service, the Lime Rock Park ambulance, Cornwall's ambulance service, Northern Dutchess Paramedics, Lakeville Hose Company, and Salisbury Volunteer Ambulance Service, as well as Region V of Emergency Medical Services.
Following the 10:30 AM Holy Eucharist, the congregation processed to Trinity Field, where Fr. Clements blessed the equipment gathered for the day as well as the volunteers.
We then moved back into Walker Hall for a wonderful smorgasbord, much of which the volunteers brought along with them to share.
Here are some pictures from that wonderful day:

We're thinking that we need to continue to honor and help our first responders. |
Thanks again to our First Responders!!
