Happy Friday Trinity Friends,
This Sunday we celebrate Lord Baden Powell Sunday. Trinity has long been a supporter of the Scouting program and we welcome members from the Scouting community to our worship. They will be piped in by our Piper, Bob Cook.
During the worship service, the choir will be presenting a medley of songs from “Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat”. Joseph will highlight our Sunday School lessons for the next couple of weeks as well.
Also attached here is the 2024 Annual Report. Please review this ahead of the Annual Congregational Meeting – this takes place next Sunday March 2nd, immediately following the worship service. Childcare will be provided. All are encouraged to stay.
There are a number of upcoming events, special worship services and announcements listed below. Please keep reading!
