Sunday School at Holy Trinity Anglican Church
At Holy Trinity Church children are welcomed and encouraged
to participate in worship. Twice each year we have a service
specifically for young people where they read the scripture,
lead prayers and provide music on instruments, such as piano,
clarinet, guitar and, new this year, African drumming. The first
Sunday of October the children bring their pets to a service
of the Blessing of the Animals. Each Sunday there is a class
for our “tweens” and older young people to discuss and learn
about their faith.
As well there is a class for wee ones from ages two to five and
also a class for elementary school aged children. “Seasons of
the Spirit” is the curriculum used in Sunday School to help the
young people grow in faith.
Young People’s Group
On an informal, occasional basis the young people of the parish
(ages about 10 and up) get together for a social event, such as
wall climbing, glow in the dark mini-putting and in future laser
tag. The group has also raised money at a car wash for a church
in South Africa. And that too was a social event. 
Holy Trinity Servers
A group of about 10 young people share the blessing of being
servers in Holy Trinity church. This unique and rewarding experience
is an important part of their journey and is always open to
new participants.

The St. George Christian
Meditation Group , facilitated
by a member of Holy Trinity, meets
in the St. George Library on Tuesdays,
October to June, from 6:30 to
7:30 pm. All are welcome: beginners
and experienced meditators alike.
(Contact: The Reverend Canon Lynne
Calhoun (519-448-1918). In a world that is growing increasingly
aware of its need for stability
and depth the group provides an
opportunity for people from the
wider community to gather in a
neutral location to join in this
unique form of prayer which is
so beneficial for spiritual growth
and maturity. Christian Meditation
is a simple way of being that
satisfies our spiritual hunger
by enabling us to experience the
Spirit of Christ within us and
to be nourished and guided by
that experience.

The Thursday Morning Group
The Thursday Morning Group meets
for coffee at 10:00 am each Thursday
morning to embark on explorations
of faith.
Books by present-day theologians,
largely Christian, are the spark
for lively discussions about the
gospels and our present-day response
to them.
Sparkling debate, a bit of anarchy,
and new reaction to time-tested
ideas are prayerfully welcome.
Newcomers, and new ideas are joyously
greeted.

The Ladies’
Guild began
in 1954 and meets
the 3rd Monday of
each month at 1:30pm,
either at the church
or at a member’s
home. Every Anglican
woman is a member
of the Ladies’ Guild
regardless of age.
The purpose is to
unite all women
in the fellowship
of worship, learning
and sharing, whether
at church, in a
nursing home, talking
with a neighbour,
or baking for a
bake sale or church
supper. We all have
gifts to share that
will deepen and
strengthen our lives;
we are women promoting
peace and hope by
reaching out to
others in Christian
service. |

Prayer
Group:
Prayer is “the
lifting of one’s
heart and mind
to God” according
to Robert Fabing
in The Spiritual
Life. In Matthew
25:40 Jesus says
“insofar as you
did this to one
of the least of
these sisters
and brothers of
mine you did it
to me”. This is
the message of
the prayer group.
All through the
year the prayer
chain takes strength
from these words
to humbly welcome
and respond to
all prayer requests
by lifting them
to God.
