A Trinity Church Sleepover

"Where is the treasure?", visitors to Trinity Church often ask, remembering the 2004 movie National Treasure, which featured a fictional version of Trinity Church.  

Last Friday night, youth from the Trinity community learned the truth.

After a screening of National Treasure in the church, they took a historical tour of Trinity Church, and archivist Anne Petrimoulx showed them some of the church's real treatures: the 1697 charter, a 1728 edition of the Book of Common Prayer, currency from 1791, and the register showing Captain Kydd's pew rental. 

The group proceeded down into the crypt and said a prayer for those interred below the building.

After Father Mark told a bedtime story from the Book of Samuel, the youth bedded down for a sleepover on Trinity's chancel floor.
