Chapel on the Green
In the summer of 2008, Trinity on the Green partnered with community agencies and clergy from other churches to launch “Chapel on the Green.” This outdoor service began on All Saints’ Sunday in November of 2008. It is based on the Common Cathedral in Boston.
Every Sunday at 2:00 pm people gather on the Upper Green (directly behind Trinity) for a brief (25-30 minute) service of Holy Eucharist in all sorts of weather. We do not cancel services due to weather.
Communion
We use grape juice to stand in solidarity with those who do not drink alcohol. We believe this is God's table and all are welcome to receive Coummunion.
ALL are welcome
This service has attracted a wide variety of people across New Haven: those interested in social justice, the homeless or anyone that does not feel comfortable in a church building.
Join our drum circle before the service at 1:30 pm. Following the service, we distribute bagged lunches to all those in need.
Sponsoring Lunch
Trinity relies on clergy from surrounding Episcopal churches to preside at these services. We also rely on outside groups to sponsor and prepare the lunches.
If your church is interested in sponsoring lunches for one Sunday, contact our Coordinators Mark & Luz Colville at mcolville@trinitynewhaven.org.
Sponsoring lunches means providing 150-200 bagged lunches and providing at least six volunteers. We expect that those who made the lunches will also participate in our service and distribute lunches.
Lunches need to arrive to Trinity by 1:30 pm.
Lunches consist of:
sandwich (ham or turkey, with some peanut butter and jelly )
piece of fruit (ideally banana, orange or softer fruit)
bag of chips
bottle of water
dessert: pudding cup, apple sauce, cookie, layer cake
Contact Mark & Luz Colville, Coordinators, for particulars.
