The art auction Sunday 29 November was a resounding success! Many, many thanks to all who made it the success it was.

We've got paintings, paintings galore, a beautiful hooked rug and more photography.

The event begins at 3.30 PM at the Governor's House across the street from the Rutland Country Club. Music with James Cassarino at the harpsichord and wine and cheese will entertain you during the preview. And at 5.00 Tom Heubner will begin to auction off these wonders.

Proceeds will go to support Trinity's mission and outreach.

Bring your family and friends!

Visita del Obispo

Yesterday the Most Rev'd Martín Barahona, Bishop of El Salvador and Archbishop of the Anglican Church of the Region of Central America (IARCA) visited our church. We held one service, instead of three, and managed to have the same attendance as a normal Sunday. Anne Brown took all the photos, moving from the gallery to the floor and back up to the gallery. Enjoy.


The Treble Choir sang which makes for a full house up front. It's sobering to think that the attendance in the chancel yesterday was close to what I'd see on a Sunday at my former parish... in the nave.


The translation was OK — a couple of dumb mistakes until things got going and the translator (Trinity's Priest in Partnership) could figure out contextually what he was saying... at the end, he got took off without stopping and the translator could not repeat all he had said.


This photo is neat, taken through the new organ pipes in the gallery.


You've got to admit — the space is wonderfully impressive in photos. Clearly this is the recessional.


An anonymous donor gave the bishop copies of Dick Clark's Stations of the Cross (done in 1994, the originals are at Saint Paul's Cathedral, Burlington). Only 100 copies were made. The stations are reminiscent of those at la UCA, Antigua Cuscatlán, El Salvador.

The parish gave $1539 ($500 from the Women of Trinity and the rest from the offering at the service) to Fundación Cristosal, a most helpful offering.

Bishop Barahona's Visit

Don't forget that this Sunday at 9.30 we will welcome the Most Rev'd Martín Barahona, Bishop of El Salvador and Archbishop of the Anglican Church of the Region of Central America.

Bring along a check made out to Fundación Cristosal so that at our brunch we can present Bishop Barahona with a donation to the church in El Salvador.

And bring your friends and family! It doesn't matter if you don't speak Spanish. God will be worshipped and we will have a grand time.

This Sunday, ONE SERVICE at 9.30.... Vienen cantando con alegría, Señor.....

Evensong and Dedication of Organ

[All photos by Anne C. Brown]

On Friday, 9 October 2009, Trinity celebrated the conclusion of its organ rebuilding process and installation of a new antiphonal division in the gallery given in honour of Organist and Choir Director Emerita, Betty Clark.

The postlude was played entirely on the antiphonal division and people automatically turned around to watch it (!). To the far left is Betty Clark and in the center left organ builder, Peter Walker.

Blessing of the Animals

All photos taken by Wendy Grace.

On Sunday 4 October, Trinitarians, two-legged and four-legged went to the Rutland County Humane Society shelter for the annual blessing of the Animals. About 35 people attended. The majority of pets blessed were dogs, though there were two brave cats in attendance.
