Trinity this week – February 9, 2025

Happy Friday Trinity Friends,

​We hope you will join us for worship this Sunday at 10:30 am – and please join us downstairs for coffee and fellowship after! While the adults are enjoying their coffee, we invite children in Grades 1 – 10 to come sing with a special Lenten/Easter Children’s Choir! Rehearsals are Sundays after church (11:45 – 12:30). There will NOT be a rehearsal next Sunday. Performances are March 30 and Palm Sunday April 13.  For more information speak with Amanda Silk

But before then, you are invited to the Faith on Fridays Cafe – Tonight from 5:30 – 7 in the Fireside Room at Trinity  This a fresh new group open to adults of all ages – designed for those who are progressive, curious and inspired.  This month’s topic is all about LOVE!  Love God, Love yourself, and Love your neighbour.  Even THAT neighbour?! Let’s explore this together.  Bring your thoughts, ideas and questions to the table over a cup of chai tea (or herbal tea or coffee)!  

February is buzzing with activities at Trinity and in our wider community circle. Please take a look below for announcements and upcoming events and join us if you are able!

ANNUAL REPORT and SPRING NEWSLETTER 
Reports for the Annual Report are due by Sunday February 16, 2025. The reports will be available for distribution before the Annual Congregational Meeting on Sunday March 2nd.  Submissions for the Spring Newsletter are due on Sunday March 23rd.  Both of these reports should be submitted to Ross Brewer

RED HOT FRIDAY CHILI COOK-OFF – Friday February 21st!  Save the date to sample delicious chili from some of the best chili cooks around!

Please sign up in the Fellowship hall. Thank-you!
