Celebrate Christmas with us at one of our four traditional services.
We begin Christmas Eve at 4:00 p.m. with the Blessing of the Crèche and Eucharist on the waterfront—a joyful service where children are invited to place the ornaments they painted on December 7. Our candlelit evening services with Sacred Music and Holy Eucharist follow at 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
On Christmas morning, gather for a service of Christmas Hymns and Holy Eucharist at 10:00 a.m.
Tuesday, January 7th from 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Trinity-by-the-Cove is pleased to host a January exhibition of paintings by renowned Naples artist Paul Arsenault: “Artful Reflections… Celebrating 50 Colorful Years.” The Opening Reception on Tuesday, January 7th from 4:00–6:00 p.m. will offer a first look at the show and an opportunity to visit with Paul while you enjoy beverages and hors d’oeuvres. The exhibit features works spanning his 50-year career as a Naples-based artist, including early pieces such as Lantern Lake, beloved local waterfronts, long-gone landmarks, and large-scale paintings from the Naples Botanical Garden. The exhibition coincides with the release of Paul’s new book, An Artful History of Naples and Collier County, which will be available for purchase and signing during the exhibit. Please register online for this event.

Not only will you help a family in need with a little sweat equity, but you will also help build a brighter future for the less fortunate in our community. Our next service day is Saturday, January 10th from 8:00 a.m. to noon. All experience levels are welcome! Childcare is available at the church upon request. Sign up online, in the Parish Hall, or email Fr. Nicholas with questions.
Saturday, January 10th at 4:30 p.m.
We’ll have a special liturgy marking Epiphany with a “paper bag” pageant, meaning that there are no rehearsals or memorization involved! It’s a parish-wide, intergenerational event so all are encouraged to attend or participate. Parishioners, children, parents and grandparents are invited to pick up a paper bag, put on the very simple costume and then help tell the story of Mary, Joseph, their child our Savior, and the kings who call. Following the service, we’ll gather for fellowship and a pizza dinner. It’s not only a great way to mark Epiphany, but a wonderful way to enter a new year. The service will also kick off our 4:30 p.m. Saturday Vigil Service which will be offered through Palm Sunday.
Thursday, January 15th
Our popular mid-week gathering at Trinity-by-the-Cove continues on Thursday evenings throughout the year—a perfect midweek pause for the soul. We begin with a beautiful Choral Evensong (5:30 p.m.), followed by a delicious shared meal (6:00–6:45 p.m.), and conclude with a formation offering (6:45–7:30 p.m.) that changes seasonally. We call it Pray. Eat. Grow. Come be refreshed—Pray, Eat, Grow, and share the experience.
