Trinity News week of Mar 12

Daylight Saving Time Begins Again: Don't forget to set your clocks forward 1 hour Saturday night as we "Spring Ahead" into March 2023. It certainly "came in like a lion", let's hope it "goes out like a lamb"...

 

Hybrid Worship on Sunday, March 12, 2023: This Sunday we are led in worship by Rev David. It is the Third Sunday of Lent and we celebrate Communion, CLICK HERE. To read the order of service for Sunday, CLICK HERE.

 

Doers Meeting: Monday, March 13 @ 6:30 pm in the Church Hall. Green is the lucky colour! Discipleship is seeing how our lives are a sacred calling and, out of our faith, connecting our gifts with the world’s needs. Come together at Trinity to be a part of the “Doing” and hear what each other is doing and wants to do.  We will hear reports from Worship + Music, Governance, United Church Women, leaving time for Property, Christian Education, and Outreach interest groups to meet as well. Hope to see you - Joy Galea, Syd Sawyer, and Irene MacIver.

 

Wed Morning Coffee Chat: Last Wednesday, the Coffee Group celebrated their 150th Wednesday Morning Coffee ZOOM chat. Congratulations to everyone on their amazing weekly commitment to connecting in this way. If you are not receiving the ZOOM invite to the Chat and you would like to, contact the office (office@ucpoco.ca).

 

Ladder Question: We cannot locate the 6ft aluminum step ladder anywhere. If anyone knows where it is, please contact the office. Thank you.

 

First United Lenten Calendar: This year’s theme for Spiritual Care at First United is truth-telling. As we enter the Season of Lent, we offer a calendar of prayer and contemplation based on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action #60. Just click the links on each day of the calendar to access new content! CLICK HERE to get the First United Lenten Calendar.

 

World Day of Prayer: Thank you to all who attended and/or leant-a-hand for the World Day of Prayer on Friday, March 3rd.  This year the service was prepared by the World Day of Prayer - Taiwan.  Between 50 and 60 people attended and this is a great increase over past years! We enjoyed “Afternoon Tea” and fellowship following the service.  An offering of $745.00 was raised, which is wonderful. Funds raised by WDP support social justice projects. In Canada, these WDP grants are distributed by the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada [WICC]. WICC is a national ecumenical organization with a mission to empower Christians to pursue justice, peace, and reconciliation standing together in prayer and action.

 

Thrift Number this week: A contemplative $358.60. Winter blues...
