February foto fest

In chronological order....


First, some snow photos from 24 February. While the Vermont Greens are getting in tons of snow, this really has been the last snow storm in Rutland. The grounds are almost bare now.


The snow did cover up the messes the huge crows have left on our sidewalks.


The magnolia bushes look lovely with their egg-white snow balls.


The tower also looks splendid in the wet snow.


The cross carries well its white mantle.


Meanwhile, back to the soup kitchen (look at the Lent 2C sermon below for another photo), where Sally greeted guests. About 40 people came, 25 from the community. Next lunch is on Saturday 13 March.


Members of the Treble choir helped out wonderfully.


The storm 25-26 February did some minor damage to the trees out front and the west side of the roof.


Bud helped cut the branches into stove-sized pieces (why let the wood go to waste, even though it is green?).


Jim and Phill also helped out in picking up the yard. Notice the damage on the roof up to the left.


This is what Phill and Wendy found Friday morning when they got to work.


And here's what it looks like today.

Never a dull moment.

Shrove Tuesday pancake supper

Despite the snow, two dozen folks showed up for supper (and to watch the kitchen get more and more smoked up).


The guys started cooking about 4.30 and had enough batter for 40 people. Somehow we did not have much trouble polishing off the flapjacks.


This does not really show how smoked up the kitchen got but we did not set off the fire alarm/smoke detector.


Some of the happy diners... and this is before folks got into the ice cream!


The children got to make Mardi Gras masks and had fun running around the parish hall in them.

Thanks to one and all for setting up, cooking and taking down!

Shrove Tuesday


Despite the (mild) snowfall, we're on for dinner tonight from 5.00 on. Then men are at work as I post this and I will wander down later to see how smoky they've gotten the kitchen. So come get the total sugar high you've always wanted.

Trinity at night

Just a few photos of the church at night in the snow storm...


These were taken at a very slooooow shutter speed, hence a little bit of blurring.


This is a slightly higher resolution than the previous one.


It was a nice walk over to the church in the snow... now we'll see what it all looks like tomorrow!

Christmas at Trinity

Here are just a couple of photographs of the church and chapel just before Christmas.


The chapel was set up Christmas Eve afternoon for a baptism.


Often by the icons of John Henry Hopkins and the Blessed Virgin Mary, one finds a lit candle, a symbol of prayer.


The church ready for Christmas Eve.... taken in the morning of the 24th.


Though a little blurry, the photo shows the high altar with its lace frontal.

The photos are all a bit light-struck but at least it was sunny and clear Christmas Eve!

More snow photos!

Today's snow storm slowed things down but did not shut down the church.

Main tower in the snow


Far right door which used to lead into the 'war chapel,' that is, a space open for prayer during WWII (if I have that correct)


East side with memorial garden

Snowy Second Sunday in Advent

Here are a few photographs taken quickly before the 8.00 service yesterday morning.


Strategically placed so as to avoid the spotlight in the foreground.


'Open the doors of righteousness....' (Psalm 118)


Trinity turrets


It's a little unclear but that is a big crow up on the right-hand cross of the tower.


The Episcopal Church Welcomes YOU!
