UCW News: UCW meets every 2nd Tuesday at 1:30 pm in the Narthex/Library. This past week our guest was Brian Ness of the PoCo Heritage society. Brian showed video clips and photographs of PoCo before 1913 when the city was established. Westminster Junction, as it was known then, was a typical small town along the railway. Brian had some pictures and stories of Trinity and early years - 120 years ago and on! The church was moved from Dewdney Trunk (now Kingsway) to Shaughnessy and Whyte in 1946-47. A very interesting presentation.
UCW will continue to meet as a single group each month. The Sunday Muffin Sale will continue on the 3rd Sunday of most months - not June. We look forward to new ways to be together. Joan Leston, retiring President, and Elaine Stead, retiring Social Convener, were honoured with a cake and heartfelt appreciation for their long and faithful service.
An Invitation from Worship & Music…: Please join us…..Date: June 2, 2024. Time: 10:30 am. Location: Trinity Sanctuary. Worship and Music has decided to link up via YouTube with the Pacific Mtn Regional Council (PMRC) annual worship service on June 2nd being held at St. Andrews-Wesley Church in downtown Vancouver. The service will be shown in Trinity’s sanctuary at 10:30 am on the big screen. This worship service includes the ordination of new ministers and communion and may take up to two (2) hours. We will be serving communion LIVE at Trinity at the same time it is occurring at St. Andrews-Wesley. We encourage all members of our congregation to attend LIVE and IN PERSON. But we do ask that you stay for the entire service. If you cannot stay for the entire service but do want to join in for a portion, you can do that from home by clicking onto the PMRC YouTube link (which we will send out that week via Friday's Announcements).
