On Sunday, July 14, Church of the Good Shepherd Anglican (GSA) are welcoming us to join them in worship. Worship starts at 9:30 a.m. See summer worship schedule below. Coffee will be served after worship.
We are grateful to Ed and Isabel Tymofichuk and Ken and Elaine Johnson for cashiering this Sunday.
Feel free to contact our new minister, Rev. Damber Khadka to say hello or to share a pastoral concern. Call the church and feel free to drop in.
Summer office hours: Please note during June, July and August the office will generally be open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s always a good idea to call ahead if you need to access the office. With construction underway there may be times when the office needs to be closed.
In our prayers:
Our prayers and thoughts are with Sumi and Damber as they are mourning the death of their niece (Rosina Gurung) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The friends and families from TUC send the bereaved families and relatives our deepest sympathies and condolences as you grieve the loss of your beloved one. May you find comfort and peace in this difficult time. We pray for a speedy recovery for Sumi as she is anticipating radiation therapy at the end of July.
Marceline Ndayumvire has appreciated our prayers and support during recent months and is now continuing recovery at home.
Congratulations to Irma Nadeau who has just received her Certificate for Licensed Lay Worship Leaders. She has been licensed by the Prairie to Pine Regional Council, having been recommended by Trinity United Church and having met all the licensing requirements of the Regional Council. Irma has worked hard to earn this license on her coursework over recent years and we have appreciated her many fine contributions to leading our worship services during this time. She is now licensed to provide Worship Leadership in other churches in our Region as well as Trinity, but Irma has assured us she will always put Trinity’s needs first when requested to lead worship. Irma, we are grateful for your leadership excellence and your faith-based loving care for us in worship and beyond.
