Filling of the Creche - December 19, 2021

Visit the Trinity website at www.trinitychurchlansingburgh.org

Traditionally, the Trinity Sunday School children perform a Nativity play during which some children read passages from the Bible about the birth of Jesus and other children dress as Mary, Joseph, angels, shepherds and wise men and create a stable tableau. In 2021, we substituted a creche-filling program for the play.   

At the beginning of the service, Dominic, Luca and Elijah helped to light the Advent wreath. Alissa and Lily read a passage from Isaiah, and Cora, Alice and Charlotte read from Luke. 

Children carried Nativity figures from a table near the baptismal font to the stable at the front of the church. Nate served as narrator for the creche-filling portion of the service.

We gathered for refreshments in the parish hall after the service. It was wonderful that Sunday School friends, who have been unable to visit in person for so long, had the opportunity to reunite.

Business was brisk  - a total of over $5800!  Old friends were happy to come back to browse and buy - in spite of the mask requirements.

Emerging from COVID Lockdown

www.trinitychurchlansingburgh.org

During the COVID pandemic of 2020, many Trinity members took advantage of diocesan online services. Many continued their faith journeys with the help of Father Desmond's regular emailed readings and sermons. During Advent, children and their families were given access to a special series of lessons from Illustrated Ministry. In-person services resumed with worship opportunities outdoors in the summer of 2020 and in both the Parish Hall and the Church Sanctuary.  Here are some pictures of 2021 services, including two baptisms and Pentecost worship.
