Bishop Gordon Scruton makes an Episcopal Visit to Trinity. During the
visit, the Bishop celebrates Eucharist with us, and he confirms, receives
and baptizes candidates from the parish.
Our next Episcopal Visit will happen in 2012.
In preparation for his visit, Pam Hennessy and Fr. Mac will lead the Youth
Confirmation Class for all those young people who would like to be confirmed.
At Confirmation, we affirm the vows made for us at Baptism by our parents and
godparents.

Resources
The Bible is the foundation of all Christian belief. The
Bible Gateway gives
access to several translations of the Bible into English and many
other languages.
Our Sunday readings at Trinity are taken from the New
Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible. This version, and
a few others are available online thanks to the
Oremus Bible Browser.

the form of worship for our services. As you prepare for
Confirmation, you need a copy of the Book of Common Prayer.
