We have in person, indoor worship at Trinity this Sunday.
We hold Norma Daly and her family in our prayers on the death of John Daly earlier this week.
As members of the Outreach/Garden committee we are blessed to receive many thankful comments such as these during the season.
Expressions of gratitude from Trinity’s gardeners:
“Thank you so much for giving us great opportunities regarding gardening. Thanks to everyone who arranged and involved with this gardening project” from Khaleda
“I would like to thank you and your team for continuous support and cooperation throughout this garden journey. Me and my family really enjoyed this garden experience. Looking forward to continue this beautiful experience with you.” from Akhtar
“Thank you for choosing us for a plot this year. My family is fed with healthy veggies!” from Leslie
With this summer’s drought, we have been faced with the need to supply water constantly so that the crops had a chance to flourish. Unfortunately water costs money! With this in mind, we ask you, if you are able, to assist us in this huge cost. On Thanksgiving Sunday, there will be a basket available for any donations. If you wish, you may also drop off donations during the week at the church office or in the mail slot. Thank you from the committee and from our gardeners!
A reminder that we continue to collect fruit, granola bars and juice boxes that are delivered to West Broadway Community Ministry. The cart is outside for donations Sunday to Friday mornings from 9-1pm. Call the church at 204-269-1632 to arrange alternate times to drop off donations.
MPQ members are making 215 quilts for the Honouring and Remembering project which began with the discovery of the 215 children’s graves in Kamloops, BC. The Sew and Sews have contributed 49 so about 25% of the total of 194 so far; attached are three examples of the quilts offered. One by Mary, one by Sydney, and one by Sue. What wonderfully creative and generous quilters!
