The Surprise Shop was founded in 1964 by the Women’s Guild of Trinity Episcopal Church. “The purpose of this organization shall be to unite the women of Trinity Parish in a project for the whole Church, for the Parish, The Community, the Diocese, the Nation and the World” Since 1964 the commitment of the volunteers has never wavered and the shop has evolved into a community and parish mainstay focused upon local outreach and support of the Parish and Diocese.
