It's time for Trinity's annual Angel Tree gift drive! This year, we are using an Amazon wish list for the gifts that kids in our community have requested. A tree with gift card tags will be in the Narthex for gift cards that cannot be purchased on Amazon. The wish list can be found here:

Advent is traditionally a time to focus on what's called the Four Last Things, including the reality of death. But in our culture, we are often hesitant to talk about it. For four weeks starting this Sunday, November 17, we'll consider both the theology and the practicalities of the end of life. Join us for this very special series at Trinity Church. This Sunday, Kara will lead a discussion of what Christians believe about death and eternal life. Don't miss it!
Dear all,
Many thanks to all for an amazing rummage sale this fall. We all appreciate the fantastic donations, moving the donations from POD's to Church, supporting us with lawn signs, setting up our sale rooms, supplying us with a contrast stream of support and volunteering directly with the sale!
Our sales were just fantastic this year which were just below last year’ sales. Over 650 shoppers came through our doors to shop our treasures!!
We could not have done it without you. We especially want to thank the Clergy and the Sextons for their steady support, too.
Our next sale in 2025 will be our 50th!!!! What an exciting year ahead!!!
With warm thanks,
The Rummage Committee

Event Title: Voices Chorale NJ and the Trenton Children’s Chorus Present: "Sing Out, My Soul!"
Date & Time: December, 14 at 4pm
Location: Trinity Church
Join us for a joyful celebration of the holiday season as talented performers come together for “Sing Out, My Soul!” presented by Voices Chorale NJ in collaboration with the Trenton Children’s Chorus.
The program features Vivaldi's masterful Gloria accompanied by a chamber ensemble, as well as contemporary choral compositions and arrangements that invoke the many moods of the holiday season. It's sure to delight attendees as they celebrate this season of increased community and connection!
The Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria, is an ever-popular favorite with audiences since its writing over 300 years ago. Voices Chorale is honored and excited to be joined by members of the acclaimed Capital Harmony Works’ Trenton Children’s Chorus as this Christmas story is depicted through Vivaldi’s masterful musical imagery.
The program then fast-forwards through the centuries, presenting old and new texts set to music by contemporary composers, from a heartfelt Hanukkah prayer to a song of rejoicing in Latin (Gaudete!). As a special touch, the audience is treated to side-by-side contrasting musical settings of the same texts to underscore their beauty through different musical prisms.
With the combined groups “singing out” together in “Sing Out, My Soul!” by Marques Garrett, there is truly something for everyone. Don’t miss this uplifting experience!
