God on Mute: Unanswered Prayer

We begin with a simple supper of soup and salad. Then, through video and small group discussion we explore those prayers that seem to go unanswered through this transformative 5-part series grounded in Holy Week. The program will be led by Ginny Simms and Mother Susan. Mother Susan also hopes to explore Lent and Easter with our youth during one or two of the sessions. All are welcome to join in.

The Rhode Island chapter of the American Guild of Organists will present a concert entitled ORGAN-PLUS at Trinity Church at 4:00 PM, Sunday, March 2nd.

The concert features area organists, instrumentalists, and singers performing repertoire that features the organ as an accompanying instrument. Following the concert, performers and audience members are invited to a reception in the church hall.

This concert and reception will also serve as a commemoration of the 25th anniversary of our organ’s dedication in 1999, having been built following the fire that damaged much of Trinity Church in 1997.

The organ at Trinity Church was built by the Schantz Organ Company of Orrville, Ohio, one of the leading pipe organ builders in the country, founded in 1873. Its bright, “singing” tone and range of sounds (from the quiet, string-toned stops and bubbly flutes to a plangent Oboe stop and bright trumpets), make it an ideal accompanying instrument, with a range of tonal colors that belie its relatively small size.

For further information, please contact the church or keep an eye on this website and/or our Facebook page.
