Shaheeda Koning, a long time member at Trinity passed away on June 27, 2023. Shaheeda had moved to Brandon in 2019 to be closer to family. We pray for her family and friends as they grieve this loss. She had many friends at Trinity and had been an active member of South side Community Fitness and Fellowship for many years before her move. Family is asking for privacy as they grieve. Cards and messages can be sent to the church. Suni Matthews, who was a close friend of Shaheeda will pass messages and cards on to the family. Our prayers are with Suni and her family as they grieve.
The family of Norma Daly is celebrating her life on Saturday July 22nd at 1:30pm at Trinity. Everyone is invited to come and share memories and be with family and friends at this celebration.
Because of Elizabeth’s notice of retirement, Trinity will begin the process of searching for a new minister. The first step is to determine the ministry needs and position description and create profiles of our church, community and finances. We need 3-5 people who would be willing to serve as our Profile team. Here is a link to the handbook for this step in the process: Pastoral Relations: Guidelines for a Community of Faith Profile (united-church.ca) which will give good, comprehensive information for people interested in being a part of this step in the process. The board has asked that folks prayerfully discern if you would like to do this. Please be in touch with Barb Tallman (chair of the board) barbara1tallman@gmail.com and Karen Wall (secretary of the board) kwall@mymts.net by July 10th if you feel called to participate. Training and assistance from the Region is provided for all steps in this process.
The board offers this financial update:
Jan to May Income $84,754.03 Expenses: $102,608.89 = deficit ($17,854.86)
The board offers a friendly reminder that although we may be on holidays, the church continues to pay its bills during the summer months. We hope that people remember to submit their givings in person, by mail, by dropping it off at the church in the mailbox, or by signing up with PAR to have your donations come directly from your bank account. Please be in touch with the office if you have any questions. Thank you for offering your gifts to the mission and ministry of Trinity United Church.
We are looking for 2 people to be cashiers as part of our 7 teams. You would only be required to cashier with your team every 7th Sunday, following church. We provide all training and assistance and you’ll be teamed up with another experienced cashier; there are spares available if you’re unable to make your Sunday. This is an important part of our ministry each Sunday and are grateful if you’d consider helping out. Please be in touch with Gerta if you’d like more information or would like to help out.
Bomber fund raiser: We still need volunteers for the upcoming games: July 20; August 3 and 24; September 9 and 29 and October 21. If you are able to help, it will be greatly appreciated. We provide all the training and assistance. Please contact Marilyn or Irma or sign up on the sign up sheets in the narthex.

With the community of Dauphin, we grieve the loss and trauma of the June 15 bus crash that took the lives of at least 16 people and left many injured, and so many grieving. Our hearts break, and God’s heart breaks. Please pray for the loved ones of the victims, survivors, first responders and medical staff, the communities of Dauphin and Carberry and area, and all affected by this horrible accident near Carberry. We pray for them in this difficult and vital ministry and pray for all offering support. We pray for the members of Dauphin First United Church as they minister to their community. May God bless those whose lives have been lost, and may God’s love hold close all who are grieving. May we all be living expressions of God’s love in this time of grief.
We hold in prayer community members and families as we mourn Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, and Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe and all Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

We continue to hold the people of James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon, Saskatchewan in our prayers.
Upon hearing the preliminary research findings on deaths and unmarked graves at the Alberni residential institution, The United Church of Canada, both regionally and nationally, hears the Tseshaht First Nation’s specific Calls for Truth and Justice directed to us, and commits to continued conversation with them about specific actions in response. Every Child Matters.
A massive magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit southern Türkiye and neighbouring Syria in February. Thanks to the generosity of United Church of Canada donors, we have been able to raise over $182,000 to provide support to our partners who are supporting the people of northern Syria and Türkiye.
