Christmas Celebrations with Trinity

12/22/2020

2020 keeps us guessing, doesn't it?

Most of our Christmas celebrations will look different this year, but that takes nothing away from the truth that we know - God is with is. Emmanuel!

We invite you to a number of ways to join together to celebrate Christmas this year - some in-person, outside, others online. However you join, plan to be here, plug in, and be a part of the community celebration.

Options for worshiping in the community are explained below.

Christmas Eve - Eve!
12/23 - 6:00pm Outdoors

By popular demand, we've added a December 23 Pre-Christmas Eve celebration!
The outdoor service will include carols, the Christmas story, a short message, and Communion.
Bring your chair and plan to wear your mask over the nose and mouth to keep everyone safe.
Registration required, here.

Christmas Eve Outdoor Worship

Lessons & Carols Watch Party

12/5/2020

Get the 2019 program here.

Find the 2019 version here.

In this most unusual year, Trinity didn't want to miss the opportunity to gather, safely, virtually, to celebrate the season with Lessons and Carols.

Since we can't gather together in a candlelit church, we're going to gather online and enjoy TWO services of Lessons and Carols on consecutive Saturday nights in December. Thanks to Simsbury Community TV for generously sharing the videos from 2018 and 2019.

On Saturday, December 12, we'll gather on Facebook to watch the 2019 Lessons & Carols. Learn more here.

Invite your friends! Share the events on Facebook! Download the program to sing along here!

Merry Christmas to all!
