Trinity this week – Lent 5 – March 17, 2024

Posted on by

Hello Trinity Friends!

This Sunday is the Fifth Sunday in Lent, and happens to also be St. Patrick’s Day. Throughout this service, you will hear some Irish melodies and hymns.  This Sunday’s blues performers are Samantha Depatie and Ariel Hyatt, who regularly provide musical accompaniment to Trinity’s “Longest Night” service. 

When you arrive on Sunday, be sure to pick up an order form for an Easter Lily.  Lilies can be purchased in honour of someone, or memory of a loved one. Those names will be listed in the Easter bulletin. Lilies will be placed in the Sanctuary on Easter Sunday and can be picked up after the service.  The deadline to order lilies is next Sunday, March 24th. 

If you haven’t already picked up your Lenten Offering envelope, those can be picked up from your ushers as well.  This year our Lenten Offering will go to support Trinity’s Food Shelf programs. We are grateful for your continued support of these programs.
