A HUGE THANK-YOU TO…
John Carson for building the beautiful shelf in the narthex to hold our Accessibility Award from the City of Kawartha Lakes.
PLEASE NOTE:
Sue Zilke Ward, our Office Administrator, will be on holidays for the week of Monday, July 14th to Friday, July 18th, therefore the church office will be open in the mornings only, from 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon during that week.
Note: Trinity will be joining Providence United Church…
This Sunday, July 13th and August 10th at 10:00 a.m. and therefore, there will be no church services at Trinity on those Sundays. Providence is located at 1449 Couty Rd. #8 (between Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls).

Needed – 500 ml Mason Jars
To date I have 144 Mason Jars for the upcoming chili sauce making. Last year we made 217 jars and I would like to do the same this year. Therefore, I am short about 75 jars. If you have any 500 ml Mason Jars to contribute, that would be wonderful. Leave them in the Church kitchen and I will periodically pick them up.
Thanks very much, Olive Macoomb
A Trinity and Providence Cookbook Project
We have enough wonderful recipes and therefore, are not accepting any more. These cookbooks will make wonderful Christmas gifts!
At Providence United Church
This week, July 13 the guest speaker will be Kathy Firth and the special music will be Bill Gordon with Mike Chell on the keyboard for the hymn/worship songs. You can find the complete schedule on the Narthex table by the front doors of Trinity United Church.
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 over 200 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!
