Hello Trinity Friends,

Our worship begins at 10:30 am each Sunday morning and is livestreamed to YouTube each week.  The service is broadcast on Cogeco’s YourTV the following Sunday.  Please note that our Lift remains out of order.  We are hopeful that work will be completed on this by mid May.  We regret the inconvenience this has caused to those of you who rely on the lift to attend worship services and rehearsals. We are looking at ways to serve those who are unable to attend worship due to the lift being out of order – such as setting up a worship space in the Fireside Room. Please feel free to reach out to us if you are interested in alternative arrangements.

Trinity’s Coffee House takes place next Friday April 19th. The Coffee House doors open at 6:30 pm with music starting shortly after.  Admission is by free will donation – (we suggest $10 – 20 per person). There are some amazing talents signed up to perform.  Your last chance to sign up your talent is this Sunday.  We are still looking for a few desserts for the event.  Desserts can be dropped off Thursday evening between 6 – 8 or Friday between 4 and 6:30 pm.  Please pre-cut your dessert if possible!

There are several announcements, community events and things to sign up for!  Please read through and know that you are most welcome!  See you at Trinity!

Hello Trinity Friends,

This Sunday April 7th is Holy Humour Sunday!  Reverend Kathy will lead our worship this morning.  In Sunday School the children will be exploring what it means to be “Easter People”.  

A NOTE ABOUT OUR LIFT

Our  technician was working on the lift this week and he had some good news to share. He anticipates the work on the lift *should* be completed in about 4 weeks! That is sooner than we had originally been told. We regret the inconvenience this has caused to those of you who rely on the lift to attend worship services and rehearsals. We are looking at ways to serve those who are unable to attend worship due to the lift being out of order.  Please feel free to reach out to us to discuss alternatives should you wish to.

There are many more announcements and community events listed below – please keep reading!

Hello Trinity Friends,

As a member of our downtown community, our collective hearts go out to all those individuals and businesses affected by the fire on Main street this week.  We give gratitude for the courage and care of the North Bay Firefighters and all those first responders who ensured that no lives were lost.  We pray for those who are dealing with the trauma of losing their homes and businesses.  Please look for ways to support our downtown community during this difficult time. 

The regular Friday email is coming to you a few days early so that we can share the special services and events that are taking place this week.
