Our Windows and Kneelers
The Windows
The stained glass windows at Trinity Church Rocky Hill are beautiful tributes to our faith and our fellow parishioners. For a small church, built by the hands of our forefathers and foremothers, these windows were (and still are) a source of pride for the "little church with a big heart".

The Kneelers
In the 1970s, Betty Flanders, a parishioners of Trinity Church Rocky Hill began an ambitious needlepoint project, for which we are grateful. She lovingly, and beautfully, stitched the kneelers that surround our altar. These kneelers are yet another example of the personal touches that makes Trinity Church Rocky Hill "the little church with the big heart" . Thank you Betty!
