Thank-you to the JOY Band for a wonderful concert last weekend – celebrating the music of the war years. We look forward to their Christmas concert next month!
This Sunday, following our worship service, you are invited to join your Trinity friends and family to watch the Santa Claus Parade.  Hotdogs will be served after church and hot chocolate will be served during the parade – to keep us warm!  The parade route will travel along Main street – just down the road from our doors.  We will have a comfy couch and a couple of chairs marking our Trinity area.  Hope to see you there!
In Sunday School, the children will be introduced to the Christmas Pageant.  We will run briefly through the songs and then write letters to Santa Claus – for the Parade!
Next Sunday, we will be led by the AOTS, men’s group for our morning worship.  We are joined by the Heartbeat Barbershop Chorus who will liven our worship with their musical talents.  The Sunday School will begin rehearsals for the Christmas Pageant.  All children who wish to participate should plan to be here or speak with Darlene Laferriere.  The pageant will be performed on Sunday December 17th during worship.
