Trinity Trek to Turkey (Winnipeg) – The Prairie to Pine Youth and Young Adults (YAYA) are raising funds to help sponsor a family from Turkey with Young United Church and Trinity has a team! You can join our team as an individual and add your steps (inside your building or outside as you wander the streets) between June 14th-19th to the total (they are aiming for 900 kms total which is 1/10th of the distance from Turkey to Winnipeg) or by donating to our team (they are aiming for $8,000 total). In this time when we are mourning, lamenting and wondering about our faith and our world, this is a positive “step” to follow Jesus’ example of compassion, unconditional love, and sharing with others. Trinity currently has tracked over 100 km and total km are at almost 600 km. If you have a tracker (fitbit, garmin etc.) you can backtrack and add your kilometres by calling Angela at 204-897-2253.To donate: choose the Trinity Trek to Turkey (Winnipeg) team here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/young-united-church/p2p/trecktoturkey/team/trinity-trek-to-turkey-wpg/thank you.

Because of the Provincial Health order moving Manitoba to “Red” and closing all religious buildings, the Executive has postponed in person, indoor worship, and closed the building to all user and church groups; staff will be in for specific tasks but mainly working from home; our non-essential building is limited to 5 people for specific tasks.
