2nd Annual Emergency Services Sunday at Trinity Lime Rock -- 2008
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.
This year, we were pleased to welcome the following emergency services units:
- Salisbury Volunteer Ambulance Service
- Lakeville Hose Company
- Falls Village Fire Company
- Falls Village Ambulance Service
- Cornwall Ambulance Service
- Lime Rock Park (2 ambulances!!)
- Northern Dutchess Paramedics
- Region V Emergency Medical Services
Following the 10:30 AM Holy Eucharist, the congregation processed to Trinity Field, where Fr. Clements, assisted by Sunday School students, blessed the equipment gathered for the day as well as the volunteers.
We then moved back into Walker Hall for a festive coffee hour.
Here are some pictures from that wonderful day:
