YOU are welcome at Trinity Lime Rock!
We are a caring and committed parish community, grounded in God’s love and in our service to one another and to the world around us. At our core is a strong sense of family: parishioners who genuinely support and care for one another, creating a welcoming and nurturing environment for all, including those who may visit for only a day.
Our mission statement (or motto) is “Companionship along the Way”—and we live it. It’s a pretty good description of what we do at Trinity — and also what we do outside our walls.
No matter who you are or where you are on your personal journey and journey of faith, you are welcome to visit us, worship with us, and perhaps join our parish family.
Welcome Reverend Wayne!
Trinity Lime Rock would like to welcome the Reverend E. Wayne Rollins! Here is some info about Reverend Wayne (in his own words), and we hope you will join us in welcoming him for his first service on November 29th.
“I was born and raised outside Charleston, West Virginia, and attended a non-denominational fundamentalist church until the middle of my college years. I hold a BS degree in Education, and have been certified to teach Music in grades K-12. I hold a Master of Music Degree in Organ Performance from Westminster Choir College. A highlight of my time there was singing in a choir of 200+ in the first choral performance on a Live from Lincoln Center presentation of Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem.
I have served as Organist/Choirmaster/Music Director in Presbyterian, United Methodist, Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches. I have also taught music courses on the college level, including two classes each quarter in a maximum security prison in southern Ohio.
Subsequent study in the Fine Arts followed. Then after a few years of discernment, I obtained the Master of Divinity Degree from The Methodist Theological School of Ohio. I was ordained a Deacon in the West Virginia Conference, but left after a few years. I explain that time as taking a long hike in boots that don’t fit.
After a few years of trying anything but churchwork, including sales and as a licensed social worker, I returned to the Episcopal church in Charleston, singing in the choir and sometimes playing the organ. I began exploring ordination there, resulting in ordination to the diaconate and priesthood in 2004.
I’ve served Episcopal parishes in West Virginia, Maine, Ohio, Michigan, and Delaware. I also served four years as Pastor in an Evangelical Lutheran congregation in southern Ohio after a year-long Clinical Pastoral Education residency in a nearby medical center.
I look forward to working in ministry in northwest Connecticut and making new friends as we spread the Good News of Christ Jesus together.
Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, this is the short version. Stay tuned. More to come.”
