Vacation Bible Camp: Dining in the Kingdom of God
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”                            1 Corinthians 10:31
When: August 2-5 from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for campers. From 2-5:30 p.m. for helpers and leaders  
Where: United Parish in Upton or ONLINE in your own kitchen.
Who: Trinity, United Parish of Upton, and St. Matthew’s Episcopal in Worcester want to gather ‘round the table with YOU—campers (grades K-6), helpers (grades 6-8), and leaders (adults of all ages!).
What: We’re going to have fun and learn about God through sharing food and embracing the gift of hospitality by learning cooking skills! Each day will end with a blessing from one of our pastors for the meal we’ll share with those at home.
Why:  Sharing food never comes with the question, “Why?” We know that our faith in God and our neighbor love increases when we share food, and all ages can learn how to give and receive hospitality. This program is also designed to help us process some of the things we’ve been through in 2020 and 2021, with hope that comes from God-stories.   This time has really taught us how to be geographically unbound, and we’ve become friends and partners in ministry with these other congregations. We’re glad to be making new friends!
 How:  Campers, helpers, and leaders use the same registration form. If you (adult 18+) don‘t have a background check or CORI on file and want to lead at camp, please reach out to unitedparishoffice@yahoo.com and request one. We’d love to see you!
To Register: Go to our website:  www.trinitychurchmilford.org or click here.

​Cleaning Day at the Church 
Saturday July 17th  8 a.m. - 11 a.m.

We missed our opportunity to prepare the sanctuary for Easter this year, and part of our preparation for new ministry is to clear out and re-organize our storage areas.  So we are asking everyone to participate for the morning or for an hour to prepare our sanctuary for the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sunday or to work in the parish building organizing and sorting our storage rooms.  Together we will dust, polish, shine, and organize.  Please contact Mary-Ellen Yaroshefski or Beth Moeller to learn how you can help.


Upcoming Events
July 18th:  We welcome Madison Claire Jones in Holy Baptism
July 25th:  Mother Judith's Last Sunday
August 8th:  Fr. John Lein's First Sunday at Trinity

Farewell to Karen Carig-O’Neill
Karen has served as our Assistant Treasurer for many years, doing the invisible work of maintaining our accounts and supporting the work of our Treasurer.  Karen and her family have brought much joy to Trinity. They are now relocating to North Carolina. We wish them godspeed on their new adventure.

​Your Wardens and Vestry have called The Rev. John Elliott Lein to be our next Rector

He was ordained priest in February 2020 after completing his Master of Divinity degree at Virginia Theological Seminary, with an emphasis on Spirituality.

However, our florist reports that prices have increased significantly during the pandemic. We invite donations from your gardens.  Please contact Mary-Ellen Yaroshefski if you wish to contribute.  This may be an
                                opportunity for thanksgiving or memorials.
