Hello Trinity Friends,
This Sunday we welcome our area United Churches to our Fifth Sunday service. Our Lenten Blues performers are the Trinity Children’s Choir! Our friends from St. Andrew’s will lead children’s time. Following the worship service, we will share in fellowship with our United Church friends over lunch, hosted by the UCW.
Our Spring Newsletter is posted below- there is plenty happening at Trinity and in our community. Please take some time to read through and mark your calendars! Thanks to Ross Brewer for putting this together!
A few announcements are listed below. Please keep reading!
