Author Jill Snyder took one step forward, and then another, and then another, a dozen voices floating through the warm air around her. “We are mar-ch-ing in the light of God / We are marching in the light of God,” people sang, the sound overlapping in rich, layered tones.

One week from today! Organized by St. Luke's & Trinity, and open to the wider community:

St. Luke’s & Trinity on the Green are hosting a joint prayer service at the graveside of Lois Tritton and her grandson Frederick. We remember the historic significance of Lois and her mother Lucy, as the last two enslaved people sold by auction on the New Haven Green. We pause in this month when we observe Juneteenth: to honor their story, to acknowledge other stories of freedom deferred, and to pray for a more just and loving future.
