Please call or email the Parish Office if you are able to help for a couple of hours on either or both days. Community Service credit will be given to students. We are grateful to the Lions Club, St. Mary’s, and private donors for your generous support of this program.  Blue Christmas Service For many people, the Christmas season brings complicated feelings. In this season of joy and love, many struggle with grief and loneliness. This is especially true during the pandemic. Blue Christmas is a quiet, meditative service of music, prayers, and readings for comfort and peace. We remember times of joy and we are sustained by hope and grace in the face of loss. Together, offer our sorrow and our hope to God for healing and transformation. We share the gift of knowing that we are not alone. The Episcopal churches in the Worcester Corridor are joining to offer a service on Zoom that is based on the service that you have offered at Trinity for many years. The service will be offered three times. Our own Dave Clinkman will be one of the musicians, and Mary Johnson will be one of the readers.
