Christmas Bazaar

Our annual Christmas Bazaar is truly a community event, welcoming those from Scituate and the surrounding communities. Coinciding with the Scituate’s Christmas in the Village Festival of Trees, it’s a wonderful opportunity to see Trinity at our best and to join us in fellowship, and Christmas festivity. It’s also a great place to shop for friends and family and support our mission and ministry.
