Four Local Churches Join Us for a
‘Mass on the Grass’ & Picnic
Trinity Portland, First Congregational Church, South Congregational Church and First Lutheran Church will be joining us for our “Mass on the Grass” on Holy Trinity’s front lawn at 9:30 AM this Sunday. The Rev. Mary returns from her vacation to celebrate Holy Communion and to preach, with our praise band, Embers in Transit, providing music. Stick around after the service for a potluck brunch/lunch. Bring something to share!
Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
Rabbi Harald Kushner wrote a best-selling book in 1981 entitled Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? The essence of that question has preoccupied theologians for centuries and is addressed in some of the oldest books in the Bible, notably the Book of Job. It will also be the subject of a two-part adult forum at Holy Trinity this fall entitled “Stumbling Blocks to Faith,” led by Eric Rennie. The schedule is as follows:
- Evil (Sept. 13)
- Suffering (Oct. 11)
Please join us for this timely discussion. The forums will be held after the 9:30 AM service in a room to be determined.
Townwide Tag Sale Sept. 19
Middletown’s 14th Annual Town-Wide Tag sale, sponsored by the Church of the Holy Trinity, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM. Clean out those closets, basements, garages and attics and hold a tag sale at your home, or donate to Holy Trinity’s tag sale on the front lawn of the church. You may bring donations for the church tag sale to Holy Trinity’s office during regular business hours or to Holy Trinity’s sanctury on Thursday, Sept. 17, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM or Friday, Sept. 18, from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. We cannot take church tag sale donations of clothing or bulky/heavy furniture (furniture must be lightweight and easily carried by one person).
The cost for an at-home tag sale is still only $20 for cash/check payments ($22 for online PayPal payments), for which you will receive free advertising and tag-sale signs. All proceeds from the fees collected will go to help fund many of Holy Trinity’s community outreach programs. Click here to register. Registration forms are also available outside of the office door at Holy Trinity, 381 Main St. Completed registration and payments must be received by Sept. 3 to be listed on the tag sale map. More…
