Vestry has approved a venture to raise funds to meet Holy Trinity’s outreach commitments. The money will be placed in the Refugee Sponsorship Fund, which will be administered by Corporation (that is, the rector and wardens, in council). This fund is a renaming of the Families in Need Fund; the new name is intended to more accurately reflect the intentions of the fund's supporters. Tax-deductible donations can be made to this fund, through the plate collection during services, or directly to the church office.

There are plans to make the Lower Hall more accommodating to the people who put on theatrical productions there (during the Fringe and at other times) by hanging three supporting bars from the ceiling. These bars would be steel, painted white, about as big around as the business end of a baseball bat, and each of the three would span from one of the north pillars to one of the south pillars, hanging about a foot down from the ceiling. The bars would support electrical cabling, and spotlights could be attached to them in setting up for a show. If anyone can foresee any problems this installation might cause in the future, please contact Frank Burgess or Harold Taylor.
All levels are welcome; 7 weeks for $70.00 or $12 for drop-in. If you would like more information please contact Sara Wright at (780) 431-0062.
New additions to the prayer list will be mentioned in prayers on Sundays. Names are added for one month; if you wish a name to be continued on the prayer list, we would appeciate a monthly update on the person we are praying for.
Please avoid parking in the front of the church. The space needs to be kept free for parishioners being dropped off. Thank you!
