Hello Trinity Friends,
We are happy to be back to in person worship! Please join us this Sunday at 10:30 am either in person, or on YouTube. This Sunday will feature some special thematic music in honour of Valentine’s Day. A reminder that you must show proof of vaccine (double or boosted), wear a mask and follow physical distancing measures. We are able to worship at half capacity now, so there is plenty of room to welcome you. Sunday School and Fellowship time are on hold for the time being. For those of you who are more comfortable joining us for worship from home, the services will continue to be livestreamed here on Trinity’s YouTube Channel and will air a week later on Cogeco’s YourTV (Channel 12/700HD) at 8 am and 9 pm.
Please remember that should you need to come to the Church offices for any reason, to be sure to call us first. Staff continue to work from home as they are able and have limited office hours.
The Canadian Shield Regional Council’s Right Relations Team invites you to participate in “Have a Heart Day”. Have a Heart Day is a child and youth-led reconciliation event that brings together caring Canadians to help ensure First Nations children have the opportunity to grow up safely at home, get a good education, be healthy, and be proud of who they are. This year is Have a Heart Day’s 10th year anniversary! Here are some ideas of how you can celebrate Have a Heart Day:
Snow Bear Activity
After learning about why we celebrate Have a Heart Day, we invite you to create snow bears with signs or messages in support of equity for First Nations children. Here is a great link for information and more ideas to do at home! https://fncaringsociety.com/sites/default/files/snow_bear_activity.pdf
Have a Heart – Send a Valentine
