Summer has arrived!
We pray that the high rivers don’t do damage and the fires are kept at bay. 
Trinity United church has had its own challenges with email this past week.  Many of us did not receive our Friday announcements and the email for the Sunday service went into techy space; some received it in their Spam or Junk mail label.  Trinity has been advised to create a new email address to help fix the delivery issues.  Zoe, our office administrator, is in the process of doing this. She is trying to go on her summer holiday so we hope that the problems will be put at rest after all she has given of her time and talents to us.  

Jo-Ann Dahms will be our volunteer administrator for the time Zoe is off.  Telephone messages will be accessed, services and announcements will be prepared and sent out by email. Thank you Jo-Ann! Trinity Governance team asks that you let us know if there is a concern or question to be answered, prayers needing to be shared, or help for a member.

Many of us have been wondering how Trinity's finances are doing so Robert has written some numbers for us:

Financial Update as of June 2020
In January we started out quite well. Our expenses were $18,400 and our income looked like $19,500 so expenses were more than met. Then a wonderful surprise: we received a special gift of $15,000. (What a relief with our minister’s sabbatical approaching.) February’s income exceeded expenses by $680 but only because of the payment for use of our facility by the Coquitlam District Music Festival. March income exceeded expenses by another $430.

The effects of COVID-19 really hit in April. Our income dropped to $12,000 while our expenses totalled $21,600. Thanks to that gift in January, we were still in the black for the first four months (+$7,700).For May our income was $14,200 and our expenses were $20,900 however we qualified for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) of $6,800 which resulted in a net income of about $100. I was hoping that with the CEWS grants continuing we might just be able to stretch that $7,700 out through the summer when, in June, we were blessed with a second $15,000 donation. I can’t predict what the fall holds in store for us but we certainly need to be thankful for the generous support we have received so far.
