Supporting Our Children and Youth Ministry At Trinity United, we believe that nurturing faith in our children and youth is a vital part of our ministry and the future of the church. Our children and youth programs offer a safe, inclusive, and engaging space for young people to explore faith, build friendships, and discover the love of God in meaningful ways. We warmly encourage all members of our congregation to support this ministry by inviting and encouraging your children, grandchildren, and young family members to participate. Whether it’s Sunday School, Regional events, or intergenerational worship services, your support makes a lasting difference. Let us continue to walk alongside our young people, reminding them that they belong, they are loved, and they have a vital place in the life of our church.
NOTE: The upstairs washroom renovations are continuing! Until further notice only the washrooms downstairs are functional. We will make sure to have someone available to help anyone who needs to go downstairs with the lift.

In our Prayers: We pray for those facing health challenges:
We pray for Ethel Campbell as she recovers at home following hip surgery.
We pray for Connie Fillion who is now recovering at home as she deals with health issues. She appreciates our prayers and expresses thanks for the cards, calls and visits during her hospital stay.
We pray for Sumi as she continues her recovery following cancer treatment. We pray for Sumi’s three nieces Ameera, Anupaa, and Anuka in the camp in Nepal as they need support for their security and protection. We pray too for Damber’s mother, Dhan Khadka as she faces serious health issues. Damber and Sumi are grateful for the prayers and support of the congregation.
