Hello Trinity Friends,

We hope you will join us, in person or on Trinity’s YouTube Channel, this Sunday at 10:30 am.  We celebrate a Baptism this Sunday!  In Sunday School we will continue the Sunday Seedlings series led by Karen Johnson. 

A reminder that immediately following the service, you are invited to stay for pancake brunch, served by the Scouts! Adults $10 Children 6-12 $5 Under 6 free

And following lunch, plan to stay for a wonderful afternoon concert presented by the Rapport Singers.  “Enduring Love” will feature special guests Heartbeat, and Amelia MacDonald, soloist. Tickets available at the door or from Rapport members. The concert starts at 1:30 pm.

Lift Update

Our lift continues to be out of service, however, we have heard that repairs should be completed “very soon”!

Thank you to our Trinity family and the wider community for supporting our Monday Food Shelf.  Your generosity has been very much appreciated!  This month’s item of the month is cereal but we are also in need of reusable shopping bags.  Your donations can be placed in the basket in the narthex.  Thanks again!
