What should I wear to Trinity?

Several people have mentioned that they wondered what to wear before their first visit to Trinity for a church service, so we're glad to provide a little helpful information.

Looking around the Trinity congregation on any particular Sunday, you are apt to see people dressed many ways, ranging from suits with white shirts and neckties at one extreme, to jeans or shorts and tee-shirts at the other. 

You might think that this sounds like a recipe for a social disaster, but at Trinity it doesn't work that way.  What is right for you is right for us.

• Some people feel more comfortable going to church a little bit "dressed up" -- and, if this sounds like you, then we encourage you to dress up when you come to Trinity.  You won't be alone!
• If you feel better wearing "corporate casual" or "country casual" you will probably find that you are dressed like many of the people in our congregation. 
• And if you're more comfortable in jeans, you can be pretty much assured that there will be other people in the congregation who feel exactly the same way.

Seasonal attire?  Practical clothes?  Well, during the summer, you'll see our young people trooping in straight from the soccer field, cleats and all.  Also, during the summer, we welcome folks who are camping in tents in the Infield across the street at Lime Rock Park and much of the year we welcome hikers on the Appalachian Trail (which currently detours right past our building). 

During mud season (and everyone in the Northwest Corner knows when it's mud season) boots are certainly de rigeur for everyone.

And during the winter, needless to say we expect everyone to dress warmly.

At Trinity we're far more interested in what's in your heart than what's on your back.
