Following the church service this Sunday, we will be booking portrait appointments for our church directory. A table will be set-up in the Narthex. Please book an appointment as the directory for Trinity & Providence is very important in our church life.

Thank you, Sue Pepper
Did you know …
that both nursing homes (Case Manor & Pinecrest) are much more accessible these days! You no longer need to set-up appointments, but will need to wear a mask while inside. I’m sure the residence would enjoy a visit! Since it is flue season, please call first to make sure they are not on lockdown.
You’re invited to a Learning Circle …
On Friday, October 27th at 2:00 pm. at #1467 Hwy 15 in Kingston, Ontario. Learn about the Waling the Path of Peace Together project, the All Our Relations Land Trust, the Indigenous Food Sovereignty Garden, and Little Forest Kingston.
