Trinity Episcopal Church
Digital Church & The Coronavirus
The church building is closed, in compliance with the Governor of NY and the Bishop of WNY. These means a lot of changes, so read on!
What about worship? Click here for this Sunday’s worship. Mother Sare will be preparing and uploading a worship experience for each Sunday that we are in quarantine and that the church building is closed. If you missed worship and want to find a previous one, click the link above and just keep scrolling down.
What about meetings? Click here to join in on Coffee Hour or Pub Theology. Think of it as a Digital Parish Hall, hosted courtesy of Zoom.us. Vestry will meet here at the usual time, unless we decide otherwise.
- Coffee Hour: Sundays at 11:30 AM
- Pub Theology: 1st Wednesdays at 6 PM
What about outreach? Our pet food pantry is continuing to operate outside the parish hall, at the standard time. Our snackpak feeding ministry has taken over our little book house, so you can find food there instead of books!
All who worship with Trinity are always welcome to call, email, or text Mother Sare with their questions or concerns. Trinity’s building will be closed for the time being, and Mother Sare will be working from home.

John the Baptist vs. St. Nick
You know, in this life we need all kinds. We need people like John the Baptist to come and yell at us to shape up or ship out. And sometimes we need people like Bishop Nicholas of Myra who simply help, and help in life-changing ways.
[If the sermon seems to cut off, it’s because it ended with the distribution of some St. Nicholas of Myra saint cards, which didn’t get recorded.]
[And yes, Mother Sare consistently mispronounce Myra, and instead add an unnecessary ‘n’.]
