Greetings Trinity Friends,
This Sunday our worship service will be shortened slightly in order to accommodate a Faith Forward Congregational Meeting that will take place in the sanctuary right after the service. We hope you will stay to hear about the building options that we will be voting on! If you are not able to attend, it will be available on our YouTube channel.
The Christian Education Committee is hosting a hotdog lunch after church this Sunday. Plan to stay afterwards to enjoy front row seating for the Santa Claus Parade (which passes right past our Ferguson doors). Bring a chair and dress warmly! Hot chocolate will be provided.
NEXT SUNDAY our “Fifth Sunday” service is at Emmanuel United Church on Sunday November 23rd, at 11:00am. Please note the date and time! Trinity will be closed that Sunday so we can worship with our United Church neighbours.
