Local United Churches 5th Sunday Worship ServiceLocal United Churches will gather together for worship whenever there is a 5th Sunday in the month.  On those Sundays, we will move our worship service to join the host church – meaning there will be no worship at Trinity (unless we are hosting) on that Sunday. It is a wonderful opportunity to gather together in faith and fellowship! The first gathering will be on Sunday January 29th. We will join in worship with other United Church faith families at Emmanuel United Church. The guest preacher will be Jennifer Henry, a senior staff person at the General Council Office. Her message will focus on The United Church of Canada’s new Call & Vision Statement: “Deep Spirituality, Bold, Discipleship, Daring Justice.”  Please be sure to join us at Emmanuel United Church on Lakeshore Sunday January 29th at 10:30 am for this exciting new worship experience! Please mark your calendars and note that the 5th Sunday dates in 2023 will be: January 29, April 30, July 30, October 29, December 31.
