Chapel on the Green

Chapel on the Green loves making new friends! We had a wonderful first-time group, First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, who brought us homemade chili and cornbread on a frigid Sunday. We all had a great time! If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact Lisa at [email protected].

Nearly 40 people turned out today to watch the PBS-created documentary “Where Then Shall We Go?” about the Amistad Catholic Worker House and Rosette Village, a community of tiny houses and tents providing a place to live for displaced unhoused folks in Amistad’s backyard. We were so lucky to have Mark and Luz Colville, who have been the proprietors of the house since 1994, with us to talk about homelessness, housing, our city’s reluctance to put money toward affordable housing or toward a tiny home neighborhood, and what it’s like to be a part of this special community. So much gratitude.

God is Good-- all the time. Read or Watch Lisa Levy's Sermon on expanding our spiritual imaginations, and drawing inspiration from the members of our own community who worship at Chapel on the Green, on the occasion of COTG's 17th Anniversary.

Today, on Chapel on the Green’s 17th anniversary, we brought the sounds and liturgy of CotG into Trinity’s 10:30am service. CotG’s Gospel Connection—Jenny, Cynthia, Esther, Rachel, and Tiny—were the heart and soul of the service. This is the day the Lord has made—let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Join us for a talkback in the Undercroft following the service, hosted by the Reimagining Church Group that encouraged us to celebrate this anniversary in a new way this year.
