Sharing God's Love Since 1832
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Archives
In 1993 through research efforts many historical artifacts dating from the 1850’s were donated to the Church archives. These have been carefully preserved and displayed in the History room. These artifacts include the last existing window from the former frame Church building, the original frame church front door latch and an early Church pew. Paper items donated include an 1865 Bible from the Kalbfleisch family, donated by Katherine Ratz of Stratford, who was a Sunday School teacher at Trinity from 1918 to 1922. Also donated are several baptismal certificates. There are many more interesting items!

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.
Accessibility Fund -- The first phase of the project has been completed and fund-raising continues to plan and pursue the next phase of construction. Please consider donating to this project.
