See what's next for Holy Week and April...
April 1, 2026 | Vol. 13
FROM REV. TRICIA
Make holy this week by stepping into the quiet mystery of these days. Let the ancient stories breathe again as the path Christ took on the road to Golgotha winds through your own longing, sorrow, and hope. Let the palms, the bread, the cross, and the dawn become more than symbols—let them be companions to you on your journey. We walked through Palm Sunday, where branches sway like prayers and joy opens the gates of the heart.
Now walk with us for:
-
Maundy Thursday, where broken bits of bread and a cup of wine become a love feast.
-
Good Friday, where shadows deepen and the world holds its breath at the foot of a love willing to suffer for us.
-
Easter Morning, where darkness breaks, light rises, and every buried hope stirs toward life again.
Enter these days slowly. Let them shape you and awaken you to the age old message - YOU ARE LOVED beyond imagination and measure.
Blessings,
Rev. Tricia
Maundy Thursday Agape Meal
April 2nd • 6:00pm
Join us in the church hall as we gather to remember Jesus’ final evening with His disciples. The service will begin with an Agape Meal (a love feast), a practice as old as christianity itself, followed by the reading of scripture, prayer and music. The evening will culminate in the sanctuary for the stripping of the altar
Walk the Way: Stations of the Cross
Friday, April 3rd • 2:30pm
Join us for a Traditional Stations of the Cross service. We will be walking with Jesus through His Passion and Death using liturgy from the Faith Development Services team of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin, The Stations of the Cross for Our Time. In this liturgy, reflections invite us to remember Jesus’ cross and to name the crosses of our own day.
A Service of Stillness & Song
Friday, April 3rd • 7:00pm
In observance of Good Friday, A Service of Stillness of Song offers a meditative experience that will include contemplative readings taken from scripture and poetry, interspersed with quiet voices singing from the balcony about the love, mercy, and sacrifice of Jesus.
Life Happens: A Circle of Encouragement
Saturday, April 4th • 10:00am
You are warmly invited to join us for Life Happens, a supportive group for people of all ages who want a safe space to talk about real life – the good, the hard, and everything in between.
At our first gathering, we experienced the quiet strength that comes from simply being present with one another—listening, sharing, and holding space without judgment. We invite you to come and be part of this circle as we continue to gather.

A Taste of Poland Community Dinner
Wednesday, April 30th • 5:00pm
Save the date! This month we will be hosting a Polish-inspired supper. We’ll gather at 5:00pm for kielbasa, perogies and other delicious Polish dishes and desserts — comforting food, shared tables, and good company.
This dinner is our second monthly, culturally-inspired dinner series to support the work of Trinity. Each month we’ll highlight a different tradition and cuisine as we gather in fellowship and generosity.
