Did You Know?

Did you know that your contributions to Trinity Church may be eligible to be matched through your employer's charitable giving program? Many employers now rely on technology platforms to support their charitable giving efforts. One of these providers, Benevity, includes Trinity Church in its catalog of eligible charitable groups. Hundreds of employers use the Benevity platform, including Billtrust, which is headquartered in Lawrenceville. Last December, Tom Scott used the Benevity platform while employed at Billtrust to match a contribution to Trinity Church. Benevity then sent the matching gift in early February and it was processed by Lily Leonard, our Finance Officer. It helps if you alert Lily by email (leonardl@trinityprinceton.org) after you initiate any matching gift so that she can watch for the payment. If you have any questions about matching gifts or if your employer's platform does not yet include us as an eligible organization, please contact Tom Scott, Vestry member, at tomascott@comcast.net.  We'd like to ensure that the major charitable giving platforms permit matching gifts to Trinity Church. 

Last Saturday’s Stations of Reparations

Dear Friends,

This past Saturday the Stations of Reparations Liturgy was held at St Peter's Chruch in Freehold. Working with my colleagues of the History sub-committee of the Reparations Commission to create and present this service is among the most rewarding experiences of my justice amd anti-racism ministry undertakings.   Stories from five parishes in our Diocese were featured in this liturgy. There are many more stories of parish history with enslavement and racism to tell, and I believe this was an important (if small) step in our Reparations work.

Please take a moment to look at the video below — the prayers are moving, the music is beautiful, the stories are compelling, and this history needs to be known.

Queering Church

Stories of Queer Affirmation in the Church

organized by the Center for Theology, Women, and Gender

Thursday, March 23, 2023 at 6:30pm
in-person at the Erdman Center
or virtually on Airmeet

“Making church more queer and more inclusive of queer folks is a project that includes everyone and benefits everyone! Because the work of making churches more inclusive is a group project, this is an event for ‘church people’ — whether you sit in the pews, stand at the front, or maybe a little of both. Whether you’re familiar with the latest lingo and research on religion and gender, or whether you feel a little overwhelmed by it, we want you to come!”

Save the Date: Easter Egg Hunt

Families! Save the Date: Holy Saturday, April 8, 2023 at 11am

Trinity’s Easter Egg Hunt takes place on Holy Saturday at 11am on Stockton Lawn is covered with colorful, candy and treat-filled eggs. Beforehand, we gather at the church entrance for a blessing. Bring your baskets and get ready to hunt for eggs. During the hunt, keep an eye peeled for the Easter Bunny, who loves to pose for photos. Come back for the Easter Vigil at 7pm or on Easter Morning to celebrate our Risen Lord!
