Welcome to the new Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Web site!
Holy Trinity Parish is called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, to encourage new disciples, to nurture those within the fellowship, and to demonstrate God’s love and mercy to all. We’re living the gospel in downtown Gainesville.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR FRONT OFFICE RECEPTIONIST every Friday afternoon from 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., and for other various times should a scheduled receptionist need a replacement. Please contact Mary Hitchner in the church office (372-4721).
ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 13 AT 6:00 PM IS THE BLUE CHRISTMAS SERVICE. This is a time when we can, with others, acknowledge the “blue” feelings we sometimes feel at this time of the year, the reasons for them, and offer them to God. In this service we’ll share in singing appropriate to the Christmas season, recognizing that this is not a season of joy for everyone. We will invite you to reflect on the pain, the loneliness, and the sadness you may feel, and offer it all to our great sign of hope, the Christ Child.
THE PARISH THANKSGIVING DINNER is Thursday, November 26 at 12 pm in Page Parish Hall after the 11 am Thanksgiving Day Service. Please RSVP the parish office, 372-4721 and include the number of people attending, and what side dish or dessert you will bring to share.

As Holy Trinity’s historian, I have been invited to a Diocesan Historian’s gathering at Trinity in St. Augustine in early May. I’ve been asked to take along a copy of our church history. Hmm.

Then there is our published history by George Bentley, bringing us through the rebuilding and up to 1998, the year that I joined Holy Trinity. There are limited copies of the Richards, but I can easily take along copies of the other two histories. Continue reading…
