This August marks our second Anniversary of worshipping in this beautiful new space! This property was gifted to us many years ago by generous members of our congregation. We were able to establish the foundation a few years ago and held our Easter morning Sunrise Service here in this place until we finally had something to come inside to! We are thrilled and thankful for this beautiful place. It has been God’s leading that has brought us this far and we look forward to what He has in store for us here in the years to come! As well as God’s amazing grace and love, this place represents the time, talent and treasure of many, many people who have generously shared their gifts to make our dream become a reality! So it is with great pride and pleasure that I, on behalf of the Trinity congregation, welcome you here! As their minister for 23 years, I can say without hesitation, it is good to have you here and we want to take good care of you while you gather here for Synod worship and meetings. Welcome to this place, Rev. Shaun Seaman TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH In 1977 the first members of Trinity under the leadership of Rev. Ralph Kendall met in local schools in the sparsely populated and totally undeveloped lands of Kanata. By Feb. 1979, 29 members made the commitment to build a church. The result of that com mitment was the completion and dedication of the “White Church on the Hill” in May of 1981. This first “passive solar” church in Canada was designed and built by architect Barry J. Hobin and Associates who was ably assisted by Mr. Bruce Gough, a passive solar heat expert. In June of 1983 Rev. Kendall was called to work with the Board of World Mission of the National Church in Toronto. Less than two months later Trinity welcomed Rev. John Bannerman as its minister and began a new phase in its ministry with enthusiasm and an awareness of the call to announce the Christian Gospel. In July of 1992 Rev. Bannerman was also called to work with the National Church in Toronto, as part of a group of three people under the title of “Education for Discipleship.” Rev. Shaun Seaman was called to minister to our congregation in 1993, and we still continue under his inspirational guidance.
