The current sanctuary was built between the years 1761 and 1766, and when completed it had windows with small panes of wavy glass.
Painted glass was installed in the church in 1853. In 1893, a Vestry committee considering repairs for another renovation recommended the installation of two “picture windows” – one on each side of the pulpit, and ornamental (or geometric) stained glass windows in the sanctuary and narthex. Then, in 1903, the vestry approved the installation of twenty four new stained glass windows. The work began in 1904 and completed in 1947. Donors could select the window theme of their choice, and made the contract with one of three commissioned artists.

Families made a "prayer cross." located in Trinity's narthex. You are invited to write down a prayer on the colorful slips of paper beside the cross and then roll up your prayer and stick it in the "prayer cross" as a reminder that God is the answer to all our needs.
