Please join us this Sunday as we celebrate the start of Advent!  We will share the sacrament of Holy Communion and we will be resuming Sunday School after nearly 2 years absence.  There will be live music beginning around 10:15 am with some special Christmas music.  It will be a wonderful way to kick off the Advent season!
Our worship service begins at 10:30 am (doors open at 10 am).  ​For those who are unable to attend in person, you will be able to watch on YouTube here Trinity’s YouTube Channel anytime or on Cogeco’s YourTV Channel 12/700HD the following Sunday morning at 8 am and 9 pm.
