Trinity falls in the category of "small congregations".  Our average Sunday attendance is between 50 - 100, divided among two Holy Eucharists and Sunday School.

Here's a list of the area communities that our parishioners call home (or weekend home):  Lime Rock, of course.  Lakeville, Falls Village,  Salisbury, Sharon (our Vicar lives in Sharon), Amesville, West Cornwall, and Canaan are the villages that surround us most closely.    

The various other villages that make up Cornwall,  and the Taconic and Twin Lakes neighborhoods in northern Salisbury, Connecticut.  Ashley Falls, South Egremont  and Sheffield in Massachusetts.  Millerton, Ancram, Amenia, Amenia Union, and Dover Plains in New York -- these communities form our next ring of neighbors.  

Some people come to Trinity from as far as Norfolk, CT on a regular basis. 

People are happy to drive some distance to come to Trinity, it seems!

Of course, visitors come to Trinity from all over the world! 

At Trinity, a significant percentage of us are part-year or weekend residents.

All year long Trinity Lime Rock welcomes our weekenders and other part-time residents -- people for whom the Northwest Corner is a second home, whether their "first home" is in New York City or Boston or somewhere else in the northeastern megalopolis.  Increasingly, we're welcoming telecommuters -- who may go to NYC a day or two or three a week.

We have seasonal in- and out-migrations.  We have a few "snowbirds" who return from the South in the spring.  As the area private schools, including Indian Mountain, Hotchkiss, and Salisbury School,  let out for the summer,  faculty families scatter across the globe.  

Around the same time, our summer people -- our families and individuals who are here primarily for the summer -- arrive.  Some are families escaping the city, and some are drawn by the seasonal attractions our area offers, ranging from the racing season at Lime Rock Park, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, and kayaking on the Housatonic, to the performance season at nearby  Music Mountain, Tanglewood, Berkshire Choral Festival, Jacobs Pillow, and Yale Norfolk, to name just a few.

Why not take a look at our upcoming special events?  Check out how we worship at Trinity.  You might also be interested in our page about the major events of our parish year, or a page with a number of videos of life at Trinity.   Often, people like to take a look at our photo albums.

Just here for the weekend?

  Perhaps you're across the street at Lime Rock Park, visiting an area private school, unwinding at an area inn or B&B, attending the Salisbury Winter Sports Association's ski jumps, antiquing, kayaking on the Housatonic, visiting friends or family,  attending our area's many cultural events, visiting the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage area's many historic sites, or just passing through -- perhaps on the Appalachian Trail. 

Come worship with us!!  You are welcome at Trinity Lime Rock whether you live here or not!!

Didn't bring your "church clothes?"  No matter.  Come as you are!!

...and be sure to bring your kids!  Young people are especially welcome at Trinity.  They're always welcome at our worship services, and we have year-round programs for them as well.

Coming from a different religious background?

Well, then, a very special and extra warm welcome to you!  (Many of us at Trinity Lime Rock come from other faith backgrounds as well!) 

At informal poll of active Trinity parishioners revealed a few "birth Episcopalians" but many (most?) of us started our faith journeys elsewhere.  Some of the faiths from which we came to Trinity include Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist (several denominations), Jewish, Lutheran (both ELCA and Missouri Synod), Presbyterian, Anglican Pentecostal, Cumberland Presbyterian, Congregational -- and from no religious background at all.

...and, perhaps because of the diversity of our own faith backgrounds,  we're particularly aware that not everyone will choose to make a spiritual home at Trinity.  If this applies to you, we invite you to check our convenient directory of Houses of Worship of many denominations in our area.
