Music for Trinity Sunday – May 31

This coming Sunday, May 31, at our special 9:30 am Holy Trinity service, we will be joined by a brass quartet and violin to celebrate the Rite of Confirmation, the annual visit by Bishop Brown and the end of the choir and handbell seasons on our parish’s title Sunday!

The Trinity Ringers will open the service with a work for handbells entitled “Fanfare for Trinity.” In addition to special concertato hymn settings for choir, brass, and organ, the choir will be singing Howard Helvey’s 1996 work entitled “Anthem To The Trinity” and Alfred Fedak’s “Dance Of The Trinity,” composed in 2021.

Come join us on Sunday! We have so many things to celebrate!

This is also the perfect opportunity to bring your church community together. Invite your parish—families, youth groups, choir members, neighbors, and friends — and let’s fill the stands with Episcopal spirit! with the diocesan choir at the Blue Rocks!

We’re assembling a diocesan-wide choir to sing the National Anthem at our Parish Picnic at the Blue Rocks on Saturday, June 27, 2026. The game begins at 6:05 p.m., and our choir will open the evening from the field — representing the full voice of the Episcopal Church in Delaware.

Everyone is welcome to join — whether you’re a seasoned chorister or simply

love to sing, we’d be glad to have you join us for this joyful diocesan moment.
