We are joining Churches across Canada in the Friends of Creation Lake Chad Challenge, hoping to rescue farmland and make it fertile again. Thanks to matching funds from the Government of Canada, just $50 rescues an acre of farmland around Lake Chad, providing seeds, water, and training for families to thrive again. Trinity is committing to helping to restore 50 acres. Visit our fundraising page clwr.org/tlctavistock, or place a donation on the Sunday morning offering plate. Indicate 'Friends of Creation' on the envelope and memo line of your cheque.
We worship on Sunday mornings in person and on Zoom at 10:00 AM. Recordings of our services can also be found on our Youtube channel.
