Creating A Trinity and Providence Cookbook Project
A committee has been formed to create a Trinity and Providence Cookbook featuring treasured recipes from people in our church family. We welcome recipes from everyone – women, men, teens and children! Submit as many personal, favourite recipes as you wish and, if possible, include special anecdotes and notes. A recipe collection box is available in the church office during the week and in the Narthex on Sunday mornings. If you wish, recipes can be emailed to Sue in the church office. Please submit your recipes as soon as possible as the committee members are ready to begin working! We also welcome suggestions for the Title of our Cookbook. If you have any questions, please speak to any of our committee members - Jayne Martin, Kim Draper, Jan Carson, Dee Savournin, Olive Macoomb, Karen Foote, Susan Hachey, Sylvia Amar-Brumwell and Connie Picken. The Cookbook will be on sale in the fall. Thank you for contributing to this fantastic project!

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!
