Christian Education for Adults

We normally have at least one adult education program active.  We also participate in — and occasionally lead — adult education programs undertaken by neighboring parishes.

Adult Education via Zoom on Thursdays:

When COVID arrived, the class moved to Zoom, and to Thursdays. Attendance increased! One Thursday, we had participants from four states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and North Carolina) and a class member who joined us from Nicaragua. The format of this class has been reading together a book of the Bible selected by the class, with discussion led by the clergy. The class is on hiatus while we seek new clergy. .

Book Forum

When a parishioner or friend of the parish publishes a book we schedule a Book Forum.  When possible, we offer the program either via Zoom. The best attended of these goes back more than a decade to when Tom Brokaw spoke of his “The Greatest Generation” — that one generated an overflow crowd. Recent book forums at Trinity have been conducted by authors Thomas Schindler, “A Hidden Legacy: The Life and Work of Esther Zimmer Lederberg“; Geoffrey Brown, “Trinity Lime Rock in Context: a History” and Leo Gafney, “I Am With You Always: Stories of Jesus to Inspire Deeper Prayer“<?p>
