Trinity United Church North Bay

Hello Trinity Friends,

Please join us for worship this Sunday at 10:30 am. This will be our last worship service before we close for our summer holidays! This week, we have the joy of celebrating two baptisms, and our Sunday School children will be learning about and celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Summer Closure & Pastoral Care

Trinity will be closed from Monday, June 22nd until Tuesday, July 28th.

During the closure, emails and phone messages will be checked periodically.

  • Emergency Pastoral Care: Please contact St. Andrew’s United Church at (705) 472-7680.

  • Summer Worship: You are warmly invited to join our friends at St. Andrew’s for worship during this time. Alternatively, check the bulletin for a list of nearby United Churches where Trinity’s Lay Worship Leaders and our Minister Emerita will be preaching! 

Important Announcements & Events

Trinity’s Summer Vacation Bible Camp (VBC) – August 10–14

Our program is officially full with over 65 children and teen helpers! We need your help to feed this wonderful group:

  • Bakers Needed: Please consider baking cookies, mini muffins, or unfrosted cupcakes.

  • Kitchen Volunteers: If you can help in the kitchen, please speak with Janice Brownlee, Marion Colquhoun, or Lisa Blais.

  • Donations: Monetary donations to offset food costs are also greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Prayer Shawls Needed

We were thrilled to welcome 10 new members to our congregation last week! Looking ahead, we anticipate several youth will be celebrating Confirmation this fall. Because of this, we need more prayer shawls. If you are willing to knit over the summer, please pick up a wool kit after church this Sunday.
