Young People's Sunday, April 25
There's an educational element in our Young People's Sundays. Today's introduced our young people to something many had never experienced, but which, for many years, was a mainstay of Episcopal Church worship: Morning Prayer, with Holy Eucharist.

 Pastor Heidi lights candles of participants from the Paschal Candle, which was lit from the New Fire. |
We then processed into the church by candlelight, led by the Paschal Candle. The service, which began with a chanted Exsultet, proceeded with Old Testament readings, interspersed with Taize Songs, and, following the Apostle's Creed, EASTER began! | |

On March 14, we celebrated "Mothering Sunday" with flowers on the altar in the midst of Lent, with a Simnel Cake, and with a labyrinth in Walker Hall to walk.
 Tom Schindler experiments with the labyrinth before choir rehearsal |
 Sabrina took her first turn as Acolyte |
 Here, Linda Lloyd provides Sabrina with some helpful hints |
 The Sunday School explored the labyrinth during their class time, so they had time to enjoy birthday cake during coffee hour |
 The Simnel Cake. Trudy Washburn has been baking Simnel Cakes at Trinity for more than 30 years. |

Friday evening, January 8, the Rt. Rev. Laura Ahrens, Suffragan Bishop of Connecticut, formally installed the Rev. Heidi Truax as Priest-in-Charge of Trinity, making her the Second Vicar of Trinity Lime Rock. Here are a few photos of the preparations for the Celebration of New Ministry and the reception that followed it (and don't miss the link at the bottom of this section to more!).
 Part of an Celebration of New Ministry is the exchange of gifts between the Priest and the Parish. Here's the table of gifts before the ceremony began. |
 Here are the altar flowers. Thanks, Lynn! |
 Some of the acolytes lit the candles on the main aisle |
 Lots of candles! |

We started January with a near-blizzard on Jan 3 -- but we still had good attendance, a new processional Crucifer, and a guest musician! (If you missed the service due to the weather, you can still read Pastor Heidi's sermon HERE.)
 Doug Schmolze, our guest musician, sang and played the guitar |
 We had a new processional crucifer |
 Lighting the Advent wreath -- it was the 10th day of Chrismas! |
 ...as well as the rest of the candles, of course! |

 Coffee hour was lively as usual |
 The Vicar's dog was a popular visitor |
 Conversation and coffee |
 ... and the snow swirled around the building |
 Lime Rock Park was quiet, except for the wind |
