Trinity Weekly Update – Palm Sunday

Hello Trinity Friends,
 
As we journey into the start of Holy Week there are a number of worship services and opportunities to deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
 
Palm and Passion Sunday – March 20, 10:30 am
Throughout Lent we have been exploring and engaging with music and word that focuses on the theme of journey. Chris Mogan, Frances Huard are our guest musicians this week along with Peggy Millar, Jennifer Hedican, Dave Wilks, Matthew Whitehead and the Junior and Senior Choirs who also enrich our service with music.
 
A reminder that Lenten Offering envelopes are available from the ushers this Sunday. The Lenten Offering donations are to support Trinity’s Food Shelf programs. Thank-you for your continued support of this very important ministry!
