Trinity Weekly Update – February 3, 2017

Dear Friends,

The terrible events of this past week in Quebec City have left many of us heartbroken and stunned. Rev. Ted has reached out to our Muslim friends and neighbours to offer condolences and the support of our United Church Community.
For those of you who would like to offer messages of condolence and solidarity, both Trinity and St. Andrew’s have books you may sign at the McIntyre entrance to both churches. The doors will be open during the morning hours for those who want to stop by. (Ring the bell if locked) If you are unable to get to either Trinity or St. Andrew’s there is also a book available for signing at City Hall.
Trinity’s book will also be available to sign on Sunday. Please take a moment to sign the book.
