Sunday Worship

Trinity's Anchor Community gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. Under the direction of Director of Music Gywin Murray, two choirs support this organ-based service. Prior to the liturgy, the presiding minister offers a parish ministry update. This takes place at about 9:20 am. Trinity's Sunday morning liturgy is a lively service wherein people of all ages --and lots of infants and children!-- find a home. Guests are always welcome.

Trinity's Sanctuary Community gathers on Sunday afternoons at 5 pm followed by an occasional community meal at 6 pm. This informal and simple liturgy is supported by a variety of musicians including pianists, guitarists and drummers. Exploration of God's Word often takes the form of a pastor-led conversation --rather than a sermon or homily-- about the day's Scriptures.

Following the Sunday morning service, our community gathers for coffee and juice in the Katie Luther Room or out-of-doors (spring and summer). From the Sunday after Labour Day through to the Victoria Day Weekend, a Nurturing Faith program is offered for all ages. Nurturing Faith includes adult learning classes for older folks and a Faith Adventures program with video theatre, drama & story-telling, arts & crafts and music for children and youth. For information about Trinity's Nurturing Faith program (learning ministries for all ages), contact Pastor Anderson.

Seasonal Services

During lent, Holy Week and at Easter and Christmas, Trinity offers a variety of occasional and seasonal services to observe or celebrate the season or event.

Many Ministers

Under the direction of Director of Music Gywin Murray, Trinity's worship is enriched by the fine work of the Affirmation Singers (children with unchanged voices) and Trinity Choir (adults). A Sanctuary Choir (youth with changed voices) or Band gathered by Lisa Hagen rounds out our program of occasional community music.

Our worship life is supported by an Altar Guild, a number of occasional musicians and a large community of assisting ministers, acolytes, greeters/hosts and ushers.

Meal of the Baptized

At Trinity Church we believe the Sacrament of Holy Communion to be central to weekly worship and the birthright of the baptized. Every Sunday, the baptized of all ages and communities-of-origin are welcomed at our table.

Holy Baptism

Holy Baptism is celebrated on a number of festival days throughout the year. Contact Pastor André Lavergne to inquire about the celebration of a baptism.
