Pastoral Ministries

The expression of Christian caring for one another and for those in the world around us is an important part of the life of Trinity Church. We nurture and support others, and are ourselves nurtured and supported as we share of ourselves.

Prayer Shawl Ministry: With every stitch in a prayer shawl, a prayer is offered to God … and as the person to whom the shawl is given wears it, he or she is wrapped in love and all those prayers. Knitters (and those who crochet) gather occasionally to work and pray together, but often pray and work at home. Members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry are also knitting blankets and shawls to be given to each person baptized in the parish. For information on this ministry, contact Marilyn Burnett (978-887-8689) or the parish office.

Intercessory Prayer Group: On Tuesday mornings at 9:00 a.m. a group gathers in the parish library to offer prayer for those in need. Prayers are offered for those who have requested the public prayer of the congregation and also for those who have made confidential requests. Prayer Request Cards and a locked box in which to place them are located on the table just inside the main doors into the church. Prayers (public or confidential) can also be requested by contacting the parish office (trinity.episcopalchurch@verizon.net).

BeFrienders: The BeFriender Ministry is a national, ecumenical organization that provides training and program support for a listening ministry of lay pastoral care. A BeFriender listens with compassion, accepts people as they are, respects another’s spiritual journey, and embodies the caring presence of God. For further information or to request a BeFriender, contact the parish office (trinity.episcopalchurch@verizon.net).
