World Day of Prayer (WDP) – Trinity will be hosting a WDP service on Friday March 21 at 2:00pm. All are welcome.
WDP is an international ecumenical Christian laywomen’s initiative which is celebrated in over 170 countries. The motto is: Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action. The WDP theme for 2025 is “I made you Wonderful.”, based on Psalm 139. Each year, a different country or region is featured; this year the Cook Islands are featured along with the stories of 3 Cook Island women. Nancy DeLong is coordinating this event and is looking for volunteers to make cookies (coconut or lime – recipe provided), work the sound system, make punch and help with set-up and clean-up. If you are able to help with this event, please contact her at nanter1@shaw.ca or 204-254-3450. With thanks to those who have already volunteered.
THE BOOKS ARE BACK! (And so are the puzzles). Take a book, or leave a book, or several. Pay what you please (or nothing at all, though this is a fund-raiser …) There’s lots of winter left to curl up and read!
**Fun with Horses and Friends – Don’t miss out! Click here for details and registration
The Prairie to Pine Region needs 10 more registrants by March 16th in order to go ahead with the event, so get your registrations in now and encourage your friends. Open to grades 5 to 12 – March 23 at a stable just outside Brandon – Trinity United Church will reimburse any Youth that attends the $10 fee.
