Hello Trinity Friends,
This Sunday please join us for worship at 10:30 am – the Fourth Sunday in Lent.For those unable to join us in person, the link for our YouTube channel is here Trinity’s Channel We have a couple of fantastic Lenten “Blues” pieces from Don Halsam and Bryan Boothe as well as Pat O’Kane and Rick Calhoun plus the virtual choir has a lovely anthem to share. Rev. Ted will share a message on “Choosing Hell” (he always has the most intriguing titles) and will read from one of my favourite children’s books!
POSTPONED An important update – due to a number of challenges, we have had to move the “Day at the Mogan Family Sugar Shack” to NEXT Saturday April 2nd from 2 – 4 pm.
All are welcome to come out for an afternoon of fun. There will be a few games and horseshoes and there is a walking trail. 210 Silver Lady Lane (park on the street). Chris will lead people through the process of making the syrup (including gathering sap) and will make maple taffy. It is a picnic style event so people are invited to bring out their own food and drinks. Please be sure to wear your rubber boots or other appropriate footwear – it will be needed!
For more information contact Chris Mogan or Marcel MacDonald.
