Hello Trinity Friends,
 
This weekend, Trinity and St. Andrew’s United Churches play host to the final Manitou Conference General Meeting. As we gather for our final time as Manitou Conference, we will be reflecting on our time together. There will be some mourning as we say goodbye to some of the structures that we have become accustomed to, but also some celebrating as we look towards what the new region may bring us. Please hold the Manitou General Meeting delegates and Conference staff in prayer as we close this chapter.
 
As part of the Manitou General Meeting, a few members of “The Hosts” band will be offering music on Friday evening. All are welcome to join the Manitou Conference delegates for “Loss – Hope – Revival” by A Slice of Heaven in Trinity’s sanctuary at 7 pm. Enter through the McIntyre street entrance.
 
This Sunday October 21st, during worship, we will be joined by Jim McCaskill, who will share a portion of his adaptation of the “Book of Job” . Many of you may remember Jim from the Romeo and Juliet production that performed at Trinity a couple years ago!
 
Also this Sunday October 21 the 1st North Bay Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will be taking orders for popcorn. Many have enjoyed this gourmet popcorn in the past. If you would like to order popcorn for delivery in early November see Dave McKenney, Jared or Michelle Johnson after Church on Sunday.
 
An exciting announcement for those who have not heard – The 100 Women Giving Campaign has raised over $15,000 towards the Infant Food Shelf. We are so grateful for the community support and the awareness this has raised about this very important ministry. Thank-you to all who have helped support through donations of items and money, knitting blankets and volunteering!
 
A High Tea Bible Study hosted by Heather and Kirk Ready will take place in November. See your bulletin for more information and be sure to add your name to the sing-up sheets in the Fellowship Hall if you plan to attend.
 
Blessings and peace,​
