2024 ‘TINY CHURCH’ CONCERTS
Trinity’s 2024 concert schedule, a series of “Tiny Church” concert events for the community, began on Saturday March 23rd with concert by an instrumental duo and was followed by a special outdoor worship service in June featuring bagpipes and drums. Our September outdoor concert was unfortunately canceled because of rainy weather. But we will celebrate with a mariachi band, Fiesta del Norte, on November 9th. The concerts are free and are all family events.

Choral Concert December 2021
Trinity’s new musical programming (pictured above) features community concerts featuring a variety of talented artists and hosted in the church throughout the year. In 2022, we have presented a chamber music concert and the Wanda Houston Band performing classic American tunes. In 2019 we presented two different performances by the young singers of Chorus Angelicus along with several other musicians and singers. In addition, Trinity is blessed each Sunday with singing by our guest vocalist Jordan Graf.
TRINITY ORGAN
Every Sunday at Trinity is special, in part because the nation’s oldest fully-functioning Thomas Hall tracker organ is played at each service, a showcase for this historic church.
Thomas Hall (1794-1874) was the most important New York organ builder of the era. From 1818 to 1824, Hall built organs for several prominent churches, but the only surviving one from that period is the 1823 single-manual, originally built for St. Michael’s in Litchfield and now housed at in Trinity, Milton.
The national Organ Historical Society deemed Trinity Milton’s Hall tracker organ an “instrument of historical merit, worthy of preservation,” and in 2014, the community of Litchfield demonstrated its enthusiasm for the 193 year old organ by funding its full restoration. Now everyone can hear this magnificent instrument, so perfectly sounded in Trinity particularly when played by our music director Michael Ford.

CHRISTMAS AT TRINITY
We will celebrate a lovely candle-lit service of Holy Communion on Sunday December 24, 2023, at 4 p.m. In past years we have held a Christmas Pageant involving members of the Parish and the Milton community (young and old).
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE DINNER
On Shrove Tuesday each year, Trinity has begun a new tradition: a pancake dinner for parishioners and the Milton community. The 2020 and 2021 events could not be held because of the pandemic.
GET-TOGETHERS
We meet regularly at a parishioner’s home for a time of fellowship when we share a meal and good cheer together. There are no specific dates for these get-togethers, but newcomers are always especially welcomed. We hope to resume this once it is safe to do so.
