Trinity this week extra

Hello again,A quick 2 messages to share (sorry for multiple emails).A reminder that this week coming up is PIE WEEK!  If you have ordered pies or you have volunteered to help out – thank-you!  Please contact Darlene (call church office)
Also – ​Annually on October 4th, hundreds of Sisters in Spirit vigils are held in communities across Canada to honour Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people who have gone missing or been murdered. There is still much work to be done to realize these calls for justice.

Listed below are ways that you can participate in a Sisters in Spirit Vigil and act on the calls for justice contained within the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Report.
