Shrove, derived from shrive, refers to the confession of sins as a preparation for Lent. Shrove Tuesday, also called Pancake Day in many parts of the world, takes place the day prior to Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Children of all ages are invited to flip pancakes in a pan while racing down the center aisle of the church. This Trinity Choir tradition now invites all to participate. Also, we’ll burn last year’s palms to be used the next day.

It’s President’s Day and we’ll gather at Best Video in Hamden for pizza and “Encanto”! Please RSVP to Angela: Family@TrinityNewHaven.org.

What is Encanto about?

The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charmed place called the Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift -- except Mirabel. However, she soon may be the Madrigals' last hope when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is now in danger. Note: Disney has assigned Encanto a PG rating due to its mild peril and thematic elements. This makes it suitable for most kids, but parents should consider individual sensitivities.

Trinity has a small room which houses many sacred items, especially those used during Holy Communion. Where is it? What does the “sacristan” do there? We’ll learn from one of Trinity’s Sacristans and help prepare the altar for Mass.

Scottish food, dancing, poetry and more! Please RSVP to Rev. Heidi: hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org. Suggested donation: $10.

Our Fall Quest comes to its conclusion as we cook and serve at Chapel on the Green, Trinity’s weekly ministry that serves the unhoused and those hungry for spiritual and actual food. Spirit Quest meets weekly during Coffee Hour and is open to parishioners 8-11 years old.
