Grateful/Thankful/Blessed

This week Kevin MacFarlane has included a ‘Trinity History Bite’ with information on how you can check out images and information on a display panel in the Karl English Lounge.  We would like to thank all those in our faith family who moved to St. Andrew’s with the amalgamation with Trinity.  We are grateful for their presence and contributions to our shared life together.

We will be offering a church school alternative over the summer

We will be offering a church school alternative over the summer

Our church school leaders will be enjoying a well-deserved rest, so there will not be any church school over the summer, beyond June 23. However, our Nursery staff - either Lilwen Henrichsen or Calysta Payne - will welcome an expanded age range over the summer, including children up to the age of 6.  Stay tuned for information on the resumption of regular church school classes in September.

Trinity History Bites

Trinity History Bites

As you may have read in this summer's ConnXions, we have started a series of "Trinity History Bites".  Compliments of Kathy and Kerrie Slimmon, you can view some images from the St. Andrew's Satellite which our Session formed just over 40 years ago.  They are on both sides of the first panel on the right of our History Display in the Karl English Lounge.  Check them out over coffee this summer,
