From the Rector
Where's the grace?
How often do you experience grace in your life? It is possible that there is more of it than you realize. How often are you a means of grace for someone else? It is possible that you bring grace to others more often than you know. I've posted some thoughts about grace at
and invite your comments.
I'll see you in church!

We have openings in the following positions:
Tour Guides are needed for Sundays and for tour groups by appointment during the week. We want to be able to provide tours every Sunday and to respond positively to the increasing number of requests from groups. The more people out there helping us spread Trinity's story, the better!
Photographers are needed to take photos of new members and at events around the parish. All you need is a digital camera and the memory to bring it with you.
Worship Leaders are needed to sustain our ministry of Evening Prayer every weekday at 5:30 p.m. in the church.
Wedding Guild Members are needed to assist with Trinity Weddings from time to time.
If you are able to assist in any of these ways, please let us know by sending a message to info@trinitygalv.org.
