THANK-YOU TRINITY
Thank you, Trinity, for sharing my recent journey. On March 19 in Portugal I fell and broke my right hip. I received excellent care at the local small hospital, at the Peterborough Hospital Rehab and now at home with Juanita--assisted by family members at every stage. I appreciate each visit, card, email and phone call I receive. While on the operating table I pictured my family, friends and you Trinity members having communion. Some Sunday soon I will come in with a staff and sit among you, listen to Bob's off-beat jokes and right-on wisdom, and be lifted in spirit by the stories, music and prayers. I am not alone. Thanks be to you thoughtful Trinity people. And thanks be to the loving Creator of us all. Walter Murray

SOLES 4 SOULS FOOTWEAR COLLECTION
Here is a chance to part with your 'gently used' footwear. A Soles 4 Souls collection box is in the narthex and if you have any gently used footwear items you would like to see go to an appreciative recipient(s) somewhere else in the world, please drop them off. If you have lots and would like them picked up instead, just call David Savournin at 705-738-1892 to make arrangements. (FYI…David and his group collected over 300 pairs of footwear in 2024 and are aiming for 500 in 2025!)
More information about this initiative can be found at https://soles4soulscanada.org/. A quick update on shoes... Another 81 pairs of 'gently used' footwear were delivered to BioPed in Lindsay this morning. That brings the TUC total to 117 so far! This is truly amazing. The team at BioPed were shocked by the number of shoes we've been able to collect in such a short time. We assured them that there are more to come!
