The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost, October 12, 2025,

8 AM and 10 AM Worship

A message from the Rector

The pumpkins are here! I have always loved seeing the Trinity Church Pumpkin Patch from a distance, but it is especially exciting to see it up close like this. I'd like to think I pulled my weight when we unloaded the truck on Tuesday, but I did stop frequently to take some videos of the entire operation.

You can see some of those videos above, and hopefully get a sense of the buzz of activity. The activity has continued since, and it's not too late to sign up to be a part of the action!

It looks like today's beautiful weather might turn to rain on Sunday. While it may be too wet for the Patch to operate, it will be a lovely morning inside our church, where at the 10 a.m. service we will baptize baby Savannah and welcome her into the household of God. I look forward to seeing you then!

With gratitude,

Meaghan
