The week of May 4, 2025

Wooden Cross Korean Church is moving their office into the church on June 1st. This will mean reallocating various spaces around the church. The Choir Room will now be used for Thrift storage. Further details as work progresses.

Help Needed: Worship & Music needs some help. With Jo-Ann’s departure to Vanc Island, and Harvey’s retirement, two or three extra people are needed to work with Beth Anderson, Brian Wheatley, Donald Rogers and Rev David to plan out logistics a month or so ahead, and to make a few phone calls. These are planning roles (behind the scene), not necessarily speaking roles.

Kiddies Korner: After 55 years at Trinity, Kiddies Korner Preschool is leaving us. Preschool amenities will disappear about June 30, 2025. To help defray dismantling costs, they KKP established a GoFundMe page for “Kiddies Korner Playground”, or go to http://gofund.me/3b526e03. You can also drop off a direct donation to their staff.

Development Steering Team (DST): Governance requested a brief update on what stage DST is in the redevelopment process. They responded:
“Our current goals remain the same, to redevelop the property into a building that would include a church and multi-use space for Trinity United Church and service-oriented partners on the main floor. The upper floors would include different types and levels of subsidized housing.
We are currently in a waiting phase as we apply for further funding for the next predevelopment studies. We are working with Terra Social Purpose Housing to coordinate the approvals needed and continue the application process through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). Please note that in all redevelopment projects, these funding stages are the slowest stages of the whole process, and often take years. We continue to move slowly forward and thank everyone for their prayers and support.”
