Hello Trinity Friends,
This Sunday is the fourth Sunday in Lent.  A reminder that Rev. Ted proposed a Lenten challenge to commit an act of random generosity or kindness this week.  If you (or your children) have not done so yet, consider this your gentle reminder 🙂
A reminder also that tomorrow is the UCW’s Cafeteria Style Luncheon.  All are welcome – many of our downtown businesses look forward to this monthly lunch – sandwiches, soups, chili, desserts and refreshments at reasonable prices!  11 am – 1 pm Friday March 29th.
In this week’s bulletin you will find order forms for AOTS Hams and Easter Lilies – there are also order forms on the table outside the Office for delicious Hot Cross Buns and Scones from Cob’s bakery!  
​Last weekend was a busy wknd for Trinity  – the Annual Red Hot Chili Night was a fantastic success – raising $866 for Trinity Families.  Thanks to the Chili and Dessert Chefs and to all the musicians who offered their talent!  Thanks to the Sanders Family for their organizational efforts, to Brian Risk for coordinating the music and to Rod Carley for narrating.  The St Pierre family swept the awards – winning Judges favourite, Best Dressed and Best Dessert.  Eunice Laporte won Judges runner up!
At the Annual Trinity Rocks Curling event – fun was had!  Some “live” footage was posted on the Trinity Families page for your viewing pleasure!  We have some fun awards to give out – those will be posted later on our Facebook page and website!
This Sunday Mustard Seed will begin rehearsals for their upcoming musical “Not Your Average Joe”  Mustard Seed cast members will meet in the Sanctuary at noon for a short hour rehearsal.  Rehearsals will be Sundays from 12:30 to 2:30 (except for Easter and May long weekend) – and some Wednesdays from 5 – 6:30.  Please bring a binder for your script and a water bottle. 

Spring Blessings!

Hello Trinity Friends,This message comes to you a day early in anticipation of tomorrow Red Hot Friday Chili Night!  The music begins at 5 and the Chili will be served at 5:30.  A narrated (by Rod Carley) special musical performance of the British Invasion will take place at 7.  An important note – there will be a film shoot happening on McIntyre street – you will need to park at Oak street or along Ferguson or another street as McIntyre may be shut down for filming for part of the time.  You may be able to park at the Capitol Centre parking lot if it is not full.
For those of you who are planning on attending Trinity’s special group rate of the Crucible,  Rod will have tickets available at the Chili night.  The tickets are $15 each.
This Sunday is the third Sunday in Lent.  Join us as we prayerfully continue our journey through Lent.  Following the service, folk are invited to join us for “Trinity Rocks” curling event at  2pm at the Granite Club. $20 per person – all welcome.  Please speak with Lisa Blais or Maurice Laporte if you’d like to come!  No experience necessary!
Lenten offering envelopes will be available from your ushers this Sunday.  Your Lenten offering goes towards supporting the Food Shelf Ministries at Trinity – the Monday Morning Food Bank and the Infant Food Shelf.  Thank you for your continuing support!
Please do take a look at your bulletin to read about many more upcoming worship services and events.  There are also order forms for hams, hot cross buns and scones and soon – Easter Lilies.  If you are not able to attend church on Sunday, the bulletin is always posted here on the website under the worship tab.
Blessings on your weekend – hope to see you tomorrow at the Chili Night or Sunday for worship and curling!
