Hello All,
You are receiving this email a few days ahead of time as we begin to make preparations for our summer closure beginning August 2nd. Please join us this Sunday August 1 at 10:30 am (in the Sanctuary or online) for our final worship service before holidays. https://www.youtube.com/c/TrinityNorthBay

Our phone lines and the main church email address will be checked periodically should an emergent pastoral care concern arise. Rev. Kathy will be providing Pastoral coverage along with our friends at St. Andrew’s United Church.

Please feel free to join our friends at St. Andrew’s United Church for worship beginning August 8th through to September 5th. We will return to worship on Sunday September 12th. If you plan to attend worship at St. Andrew’s please give them a call to reserve your spot. You may also join them for livestream worship on their YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5jasWOm3lMZRpDVSdRjLpg

We are hopeful that when we return to Church in September that there will be some return to our regular activities. We have missed you and look forward to welcoming you back. In early September there will be a fall newsletter with current updates about what to expect. If you are part of a regular group that meets at Trinity, please be in touch with us before Friday to let us know what your anticipated plans are for September – of course we know that these plans may change based on Provincial regulations due to Covid but we’d like to begin looking ahead.

A few announcements and reminders to draw your attention to:
