All baking must be nut free and individually wrapped. Cookies can be in packs of 2. Fruit should be washed and wrapped.
We will have a collection from July 27 – August 10. Thank you for your support.

60th Anniversary Celebrations
During the 60th Anniversary of Trinity celebration, members of the congregation were invited to write their fond memories of Trinity. Over 60 cards with memories were collected over the weeks of the celebration. The committee has decided to share these memories in the announcements over the next 6 weeks.
Here is this week’s compilation of your treasured memories of Trinity:
* 1972 Sunday school story from Karen
* Our Daughters were married at Trinity
* First Baptism group in the new building — my daughter was in it
* Youth group dances – checking kids in at the door (there were some problems)
* Working with a variety of people on projects
* Currently a member of GSA but attended St, Norbert children in the nursery program
* Taught Sunday school at Trinity, but in the 80’s attended GSA — many fond memories
* I have fond memories of the UCW group, which in the 1980’s numbered 25+ members. We met monthly for fellowship and did some fundraising
* One amazing fashion show in the lower hall decorated with silhouettes of flying geese in fall colors. Was chaired by Pat Burke and was so much fun. There were you mothers and Grandmas. Old and young made up a unique group.
* When we were using Dalhousie School for services, the choir practiced at the Director’s home (Roy Boyle). One Thursday we had a blizzard and I cross country skied to his house.
