If you're coming to visit our good friend and neighbor, Lime Rock Park, please feel especially welcome to come  worship with us at Trinity Church, Lime Rock -- or just look around.  

Increasing numbers of people from the track have been doing so recently. 

If you've been to Lime Rock Park before, you've probably noticed that we're conveniently located right across Route 112, directly opposite the Outfield Entrance. Perhaps you've even parked in our field (off Dugway Road) on an earlier visit to Lime Rock Park or will park there this summer.  The Summer of 2007 -- Lime Rock Park's 50th anniversary season -- had some extraordinary race events -- and we look forward to more great ones in 2008 (as well as a much-needed re-paving).  We hope you will visit attend one (or more) of the races -- and come see us too!

If you're coming to the races as a spectator on a major race weekend, you should know that we are happy to provide Lime Rock Park visitors the opportunity to park in our spacious Trinity Field.  It's eight acres, located right behind the church, off Dugway Road, and a convenient walk to the Outfield Entrance.  People who have parked with us in past years keep coming back.  Perhaps there's a reason!

Our Sunday worship services are at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and you are invited to "come as you are" for either service -- even if you're camping in the infield and didn't bring your "church clothes"!   Holy Communion at Trinity is open to all baptized Christians, regardless of age or denomination, and a blessing is always an alternative for anyone who has concerns or reservations about Communion in an unfamiliar church.

While you're here, we hope you will stop in at whatever special event we're having that particular weekend.  For example, the ladies of the parish host a tag sale on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, and our annual art show open for viewing -- or purchasing -- during all of Labor Day weekend.  

Happy 51st Birthday, Lime Rock Park!!

Even if you cannot join us at church, you should still know that we at Trinity Lime Rock remember the drivers, the pit crews, the staff, and the spectators at Lime Rock Park in our prayers at both services each Sunday of major race weekends.

Sincerely,

Geoff Brown, Webmaster

The two great photos of the American LeMans Series race at Lime Rock Park in 2005 appear here courtesy of Lime Rock Park.  That's us in the background in both of them, conveniently located right across the street from Lime Rock Park's outfield entrance.  We believe that we are the closest church (of any denomination) in North America to a major racing venue.

p.s. If you would like more information about our Parish, click any of the links in the column to the right or view our website directory.  If you came to our website while looking for Lime Rock Park's attractive and informative new website, here's a link to the track: www.limerock.com.   There you can see the track schedule, purchase tickets, and get lots of information about track activities.  Godspeed!!

We hope Trinity Lime Rock is the church you'll think of first when visiting Lime Rock Park.  We are an inclusive parish, and you are welcome here regardless of your religious background.  However, we do understand that your personal needs may require a house of worship other than ours. Regardless, we're still your neighbors while you are here, and as neighbors we can still be helpful to you in finding the house of worship that's perfect for you.  We have compiled a comprehensive list of houses of worship of many denominations that are located in our Tri-State area (CT, NY and MA), within driving distance.   If you find any errors or needed updates, please let our webmaster know so he can fix them! 

p.p.s.  Have you heard tales of acrimony nearly a half-century ago between the Track and the Church?  We heard about it, and have been investigating them.  Nobody who is active in Trinity today was involved "way back then" so it is sometimes hard to separate legend from fact.    We all here in Lime Rock, Church and Track alike, work together very smoothly and comfortably now, and have done so for decades, regardless of what you may have heard.

We've got some previously unpublished material from our archives and from the Vestry minutes (as well as some material about racing in our immediate area even BEFORE Lime Rock Park).  We urge you to read it, particularly if you've heard stories about "the old days".  If you have first-hand knowledge of those times in the late 1950s, or if you have any documents relating to the difficulties, please contact the webmaster. We would like to know all we can about the history of those bygone (and unfortunate) years so we never risk repeating those mistakes.
