Greetings from the Vicar

Greetings from Mother Lesley

Welcome to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. We look forward to having you join us for worship!

A little about our parish family. We come from all kinds of backgrounds and represent many different aspects of family life. We're young and old, gay and straight, single, partnered, divorced and widowed. Our ancestors came from Asia and Africa, as well as from Europe. Many of us are born and bred New Yorkers, some living in Pawling all their lives, while others among us still have ties to the Caribbean, to Germany, England and Canada.

We know it can be very difficult to pluck up the courage to walk into a new church for the first time, especially if you haven't been to church in some time. Be assured that you are welcome, and that we want you to be comfortable. Our ushers and/or any of our parishioners will be happy to give you as much, or as little, assistance as you desire. Know also that your children are always welcome in our services.

If you would like to meet us we hope you'll join us for refreshments and fellowship after the main service on Sunday. If you'd rather not, that's O.K. — we'll be glad you worshipped with us and we'll hope that you'll come again.

Our parking lot is located behind the church, and is accessed from Townsend Boulevard, the street which runs down the side of the property. Street parking is also available. The church is handicapped accessible; there are restrooms on the first and second floor,. and an electric chair lift to the parish hall on the second floor. Nursery care is available beginning at 9:45am. Our Church School, Grades Pre-K through 6th Grade begins at 9:45am. and meets September through June. During July and August our younger children are invited to attend Summer Story Time for the first part of the 10 o'clock service. Our Youth Group meets for education and activities after the 10 o'clock service (September through June).

We look forward to seeing you soon!
