Easter Music Donations
Sunday, March 8th – Sunday, March 29th
On Easter Day, the musical forces of Trinity Episcopal Church & School will present two beautiful masses in the Church, each enhanced by exceptional music: the 8:00 AM Mass will have a Choral Quartet to lead the congregation in a traditional Easter liturgy, and the 10:00 AM Mass will include a full orchestra and choir to lead the liturgy in Schubert Mass in G. We are currently seeking donations to help fund these extraordinary additions to our Easter worship.
Donation forms will be available in the Narthexes of both the Church and the Chapel, and on the Welcome Table in the Parish Hall.
Solemn Evensong & Benediction
Tuesday, March 3rd
Solemn Evensong is a sung version of Evening Prayer. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament follows Evensong. During Benediction, the consecrated Host is placed in a monstrance on the altar for adoration. The priest then blesses the congregation by making the sign of the cross with the monstrance. Please join us for this beautiful and reverent service in the Chapel.
The Theology of Baptism Class
Sundays, March 15th and 22nd
Fr. Ryan Jordan is teaching a class about the Elements and Sacramental Theology of Baptism for parents who would like to have their child Baptized. The classes will be held on Sundays, March 15th and March 22nd, from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM, in the Education Building. If you are interested in participating in the class, email Alyssa Hiser at ahiser@trinityvero.org. If you have any questions about the class, email Fr. Ryan Jordan at rjordan@trinityvero.org. Please note that participation in the class is encouraged but not required for Baptism.
Church Center Presentation
Sunday, March 15th during Coffee Hour
Church Center is Trinity’s new data management system. The new system will allow Trinity and parishioners to communicate more quickly, efficiently, and effectively. The Church Center App is the means used to facilitate communication using your cell phone or computer. Once set-up on your personal device, parishioners can access and update their personal information, schedule volunteer time, view current giving amounts and quarterly statements, safely and securely connect with other participating parishioners, and sign up for studies and programs.
Last April, Trinity set up a Help Desk during Coffee Hour to assist parishioners with setting up the Church Center App on their cell phones and computers. During Coffee Hour next Sunday, March 15th, there will be a Church Center Presentation to review Church Center and to introduce the “Church Directory” and “Church Calendar” modules. The presentation will be brief (5-7 minutes). In addition, the Church Center Help Desk will be “open for business” to answer questions and to set-up the app on your cell phone or computer if you have not already.
Please join us for the Church Center Presentation next Sunday, March 15th during Coffee Hour.
Sermon Series: The Fall of Man
The Sermon Series: The Fall of Man and the Solution from God, is now available to watch on Trinity’s website. The series explains the Garden of Eden before The Fall and the consequences on the relationships between man verses God, man verses himself, man verses man, and man versus nature. The series concludes with the solution God had for us to fix the problem. If you are interested in taking a deep dive into how sin was brought into the world and what God’s plan was to solve the consequences, look no further. This sermon series is for you. The sermon series can be found on the scrolling banner on the home page of Trinity’s website: www.TrinityVero.org
Sacrament of Baptism
Sunday, April 12th
If you or anyone you know is interested in receiving the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact Alyssa Hiser in the office at 772-567-1146, ext. 240 or through email at ahiser@TrinityVero.org. The next Holy Eucharist with Holy Baptism will be held on Sunday, April 12th during the 10 AM Mass.
REMINDERs
Pastoral Care
Trinity’s clergy are available for Pastoral Care and to bring Holy Communion to our sick parishioners and shut ins. If you or someone you know needs Pastoral Care, please call the office at 772-567-1146. If your call is after office hours, please press ‘1’ at main menu on the phone system and you will be connected to our on-call clergy.
Weekly Noon and Feast Day Holy Eucharist
Weekly Holy Eucharist is celebrated every Tuesday at 12:00 Noon in the Chapel. Trinity also celebrates Holy Eucharist on major Feast Days of the Church year on their annual feast day whenever they happen to fall outside of the regular Tuesday Weekly Mass Schedule. Major Feast Days will be added to the announcements the week before and the mass will be held in the Chapel at noon.
The Rector’s Forum
Sunday Mornings
The Rector’s Forum is held on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM in the Education Building. During the Rector’s Forum, the preacher of the day dives deeper into the Sermon topic. This is a Bible study that is interactive, extremely informative and highly educational. You will be amazed at how much you learn in a short time. So come to church with your Bible a little early, grab a cup of coffee and join your fellow parishioners. You will not be disappointed!
Sunday School & Childcare
Trinity offers childcare in the Parish Hall for children ages 1 year old through Kindergarten from 9:45 AM until the Mass is over. Ushers in the back of the church can direct you to the rooms.
Trinity also has a Sunday School program for children ages PreK-3 through 5th grade, where children are taught an age-appropriate Bible lesson that is supported with songs, crafts, games and activities. The Sunday School Program begins at 10:00 AM, however, children are invited to arrive in the Sunday School at 9:45 AM.
Once Sunday School is over, children Grades 1st through 5th are brought to church to be with their parents for the remainder of the service, around the time of the Announcements. Children who are Kindergarten and under remain in Childcare until parents pick them up after the service. Sunday School is taught year-round, and children are welcome to join at any time.
Trinity also has a Little One’s Room and an Infant Room that is located in the back of the church that welcomes families with small children 24 months and younger. There, parents have the benefit of participating in the service in soundproof rooms while caring for their young children. The Little One’s Room is designed for children who are crawling through 24 months old. This room is equipped with rocking chairs, puzzles, and quiet toys. The Infant’s Room is an adjoining room designed for parents with infants so they can care for their infants while watching the mass via live stream on a large screen television. This room is equipped with rocking chairs and silent “reach” toys. Lastly, there is a bathroom located in between both the rooms that is equipped with a changing table.
Coffee Hour
Sundays after the 10:00 AM Mass
Coffee Hour is held in the Parish Hall on Sunday mornings after the 10:00 AM service. Come grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat, while welcoming visitors and getting to know other members of the church. Coffee Hour is also a great way to keep in touch with what is going on in the life of the Church. Families are encouraged to attend Coffee Hour. There are activities for children of all ages so kids can connect as well.
Please sign up to host Coffee Hour for a Sunday in the coming weeks, on your own or with another family. Sign up on the bulletin board in the Parish Hall, or contact Kathy Rodriguez in the office at 772-567-1146 or through email at krodriguez@TrinityVero.org.
Coffee Hour items can be homemade or purchased, such as cakes and brownies, finger sandwiches, deviled eggs, cookies, fruit, cheese, bagels, etc. Items should be brought to the Parish Hall between 9:15 and 9:45AM already on serving platters, covered and ready to serve. Trinity has plates, napkins and serving utensils already on the tables. Rich Christie, Trinity’s Coffee Hour Emcee, will put your items on the tables for you. If your items need to be refrigerated, or you need additional serving platters, etc., please contact Kathy Rodriguez in the office at 772.567.1146 or through email at krodriguez@TrinityVero.org before the end of the week before you are scheduled to host and they will be provided to you.
Finally, a reminder email will be sent to Coffee Hour Hosts the Wednesday before they are scheduled to host. The email includes specific directions for when to arrive and where to bring your Coffee items on Sunday morning.
Thank you for signing up to host Coffee Hour. Your fellow parishioners appreciate you so much!

Knitters Group Prayer Shawl Ministry
Tuesdays at 12:45 PM

The mission of the Trinity Church Prayer Shawl Ministry is to bring people of similar interests together to share in fellowship and to use our time and talents to produce prayer shawls that will be given away to help comfort those who need the loving hands of God surrounding them because of illness or grief. Each one is blessed by our priests.
Altar Flowers Sign-ups
Altar Flowers can be donated for any given Sunday of the year, except for during Lent and Advent, when there are no flowers on the Altar.

For more information or to sign up to donate flowers, contact Michelle Clevenger in the office at 772-567-1146 or through email at mclevenger@trinityvero.org.
Trinity Membership
Many parishioners who attend regularly may not realize that we have a formal process for becoming an official member of Trinity Episcopal Church. If you have not yet completed this step and would like to be included in our membership records, we invite you to complete our Membership Application by using this QR code:
You do not need to be Episcopalian to become a member. However, if you are an Episcopalian and wish to transfer your membership from another parish, please indicate that on the form. We will request a Letter of Transfer on your behalf, which will make you a Canonical Member. Being a Canonical Member is a requirement for voting at our annual Parish Meetings.
If you have any questions about membership or the application process, please contact Michelle Clevenger, Membership & Giving Coordinator, who will be happy to help. Michelle can be reached at mclevenger@trinityvero.org or in the church office: 772.567.1146 ext. 214.
The Trinity Legacy Society honors individuals who have named Trinity Episcopal Church as a beneficiary in their estate plans. This can be done through a bequest in a will or via other planned giving options such as an IRA, retirement plan, life insurance, or other financial vehicles.
If you are interested in learning more about Trinity’s Legacy Society and planned giving, please email giving@TrinityVero.org. and a member of our team will reach out to you with more information.
