The What has been happening at Trinity? Well, plenty! It's just that we have been too busy to talk about it.

Although we stopped producing the newsletter in 2023, our progressed has not slowed. In fact, we have only grown and gotten busier. Just under a year ago we held another presentation of the Messiah Oratorio for Christmas. It was an amazing performance, s always, led by our own Carlos Martinez. That was followed by the lighting of our Christmas cheche and singing Christmas carols.  

Fast-forward through a busy Lenten and Easter Season and we gathered for our annual picnic. This time held on the grounds of Trinity. Everyone had a ball. Especially the children, who enjoyed the bouncy house and water slide. Although it was warm out, everyone enjoyed the food and fellowship. 

October is a particularly busy month, especially for the clergy at Trinity. This year we had to synods back to back. The first was our diocesan synod in Concord. The second was the special joint synod with the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC). These occurred back-to-back because there was a special vote to rejoin the ACC. We concluded our time together in a unified synod. Officially, Trinity is now part of the Anglican Catholic Church. 

Fall is a busy time of year at Trinity. This year we started a new Foundations in Christianity Course that will run through the year, in three parts. The first section on the Apostle's Creed will use Dr. Michael Bird's video series and book on the Creed. We also started our Inquirers Course and other courses.  

​The following week we hosted Dr. Philip Mamalakis for a Marriage and Family seminar. Dr. Mamalakis is author of Parenting Towards the Kingdom and gave an outstanding and encouraging presentation about parenting.  This was followed by a special Luncheon put on by our St. Anne's Guild, showcasing St. Anne, the mother of the blessed virgin Mary. Our parish hall was packed full, but in truth, these days t is packed after every service for our fellowship luncheon after church. 

What is upcoming? Stay tuned for our Thanksgiving Meal on Wednesday, November 23rd, to be followed by Lessons and Carols and then the lighting of the Christmas creche in December. And, of course Christmas at Trinity. You will want to come for our Midnight Mass. 

Summer is always a little quieter at Trinity. Folks go on vacation, spend time at the camp, or enjoy time with family. Once September rolls around though, things kick into high gear again. With Fall the leaves come down from the trees but at Trinity the season has us rise to new levels of fellowship and activity.

Our sixth rotation of Reboot Combat Recovery kicked off on September 5th. it was a small group, but the intimacy allowed us to be honest and transparent through the course. Not everyone finishes the course, and this time a couple could not continue. Still, graduation was marked
by the powerful testimony that "Dave" had given about how Reboot has changed His life. 

This year we hosted our first annual Harvest Day Festival. It was well attended
 in spite of the fact that
there were other large festivals on the same weekend. There was a moon bounce and games, and the music of Liz and Dan Faiella added the sound of lively music and joy to the whole event.  Our own Logan Gabriel, a classically trained guitarist played lovely pieces of music inside, where much of the food was. 

Not a month later, and it was time for our annual Christmas Fair. This long-standing event was organized entirely by our ladies guild
. There were baked
goods, crafts, Christmas gifts and a wide range of items for sale. On the day of the event, the traffic was so great that half of the stock sold by noon - in two hours! There were several raffle prize baskets that were raffled
away as well

During the month of November, we hosted a series of talks on our “We Believe…” statements, found at the front of our website and in our bulletins. Each statement begins with “We believe” and then names an important point of contact between our faith and contemporary society. There were seven talks altogether, each followed by lively discussion. One of the most important aspects of these talks was our fellowship around a simple shared meal. Trinity often provides ways for members to connect with one another outside of the Sunday Service to strengthen the bonds of affection. 

The Fall also brought new friends. Trinity is growing, and this is shown
by the steady stream of people who come and visit the church and decide to 
become members. We have had the privilege of welcoming several new faces to our congregation.

Next up, The Messiah Oratório! This event is a repeat of the amazing performance we offered last year. We expect to pack the house for this event. After this we will have our Christmas services.  True to our mission statement, Trinity is a Parish on Purpose, and the schedule this fall gives ample evidence of the same. 

While it is common knowledge at Trinity, Fr. Mirabile is an avid biker, er.....motorcyclist. Which ever term you prefer. While things slow down a little at Trinity mid-summer, Fr. Mirabile can be found riding throughout the region. He has owned many motorcycles over the years, from sport bikes to cruisers and currently owns two Italian motorcycles, a Moto Guzzi and an Aprilia (sorry, no Harley). It is little wonder then, that he would want to host a Blessing of the Bikes! 

On Saturday May 18th, Trinity will host it's first ever Blessing of the Bikes! This event will help raise funds for our Reboot Combat Recovery Program. Reboot is for veterans who have returned home and are still struggling with some the consequences of serving. Funds will also go to help support veterans and others in recovery and are homeless. 

Trinity will provide breakfast sandwiches and coffee as bikers begin to arrive at 9:00 am. At 10:00 am the short service will begin, followed by some prayers and finally, the sprinkling of the bikes.  If other riders arrive after the start of the blessing Fr. Mirabile will continue to bless the bikes until 10:45, when they begin to prepare to leave for the ride itself. This is a rain or shine event. However, if it is raining, the ride itself may be called. 

​The event is open for all motorcycle enthusiasts and bikers. Whether one rides a Harley Davidson, Metric Cruiser, Goldwing, BMW or sport bike, all riders are welcome to attend. The event will finish with a ride up to Conway via route 153 for those who would like to ride on. Trinity wants all riders to ride safely and with the angels watching over their shoulders!

Palm Sunday, April 14th 8:00 am and 10:00 am, with special performance at 10:00 am service.
Maundy Thursday, April 18th 6:30 pm. followed by Vigil.
Good Friday, April 19th. Noon to 3:00 pm - Meditations on the Seven Last Words of Christ

​Come worship the risen Lord with us!

Christmas is always a joyous and busy time. For us at Trinity is was not for the shopping, but all the activities that we had planned for the Holiday.

Our Christmas season was kicked off by a performance of Handel's Messiah.  This exquisite performance was directed by our own Carlos Martinez and featured some of the best talent in the Boston area. A lot of work went into planning and pulling off the event. The musicians gathered with the soloists and choir for practice. Meanwhile we had a crack team in church organizing the many details required to put this together, from arranging policeman to help with traffic, to guiding parking and preparing the sanctuary.  the performance itself was intimate and amazing and many people remarked that you could not have found a better performance in any of the best concert halls in the world. It was truly World Class!

We are blessed at Trinity to have such a warm, energetic and thriving family of God. As we look back at the last year we have accomplished so much! While some have gone on to be with the Lord we have also grown considerably over the last year. We have tremendous momentum going into the new year and look forward to all God has prepared for us to do. 

Trinity Anglican church will offer a special Veterans Day Service at their current location on Sunday. November 11th, 6:00pm.

Whereas most often services of this type are designed to be a general honorific for veterans, this service is different.  It is designed with the veteran in mind first and foremost. This prayer service will include a litany of prayers for those who have gone through combat, deployment or service, as well as other ceremonies to help veterans heal from the spiritual and moral wounds of war.

“If contemporary America doesn’t develop ways to publicly confront the emotional consequences of war, those consequences will continue to burn a hole through the vets themselves.” 
― Sebastian Junger, Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging.

Junger, in the same book considered the idea of services that might do just that. This service is intended to accomplish that end.

All veterans are invited, and Reboot Combat Recovery Alumni are also invited as well.
If you would like more information, please contact Rev. Matthew Mirabile at 603-332-4121 or email at fr.matt.mirabile@trinity-anglicanchurch.org.

It has been thirty years since Trinity first formed as a parish and twenty five years since the property was left to us and we built our wonderful church.  Now it is time to celebrate the achievement and work that so many have contributed to maintain this parish. It is also time to look forward to what God is going to do next. 

What better why to remember the past and anticipate a bright future than with a Jubilee Celebration!  On Saturday, November 3rd, from, 2:30 pm to 7:00 pm we will gather for food, a raffle, prizes, contra-dancing, dinner, and fellowship. There will be presentations of the history of the church, as well as salutations from Bp. Brian Marsh, comments from Fr. Don Wilson, and Fr. Mirabile will talk about the vision and goals of the parish moving forward. ,  All the festivities will take place in a giant heated tent in the rear parking lot, and in the church. Why not plan to attend? ​Register online here <---
