Trinity Church Annual Ministry Report 2015 INTRODUCTION TABLE OF CONTENTS

Every year at this time, as I draw together my refections on the past year for Trinity’s annual report, I recall the words of Dag Hammarskjöld, the much-admired Secretary-General of the United Nations in the 1950’s: “For all that has been, thanks, and for all that will be, yes.” I love the sense of gracious appreciation it expresses as he looks backward, and the sense of faith-flled hope and expectation as Worship page 4 he looks forward. It’s a stance I want to embrace for the living of my days, and it captures a spirit of what I want to say as we look forward to our annual meeting. Formation page 7 The Rev.

I hope that whether you are new in Trinity’s pews or the most seasoned fellow-traveller, you will take the plunge of signing up for a ministry group or a Bible study. Contact one of the clergy, respond to an invitation to participate, or start by simply wearing your name button so that others can know you. “…For all that will be, yes.” Come, join in this wondrous journey.

The response Trinity were being reorganized, replacing of the Drolets has been one of returning love and support: in December they hosted the traditional Junior High Youth Group a Christmas party for the acolytes and mentors after the excitement of Candlelight time with classes geared at exploring Carols.
