Unified Board notes - Ideas needing People

Some data from Stats Canada revealed that there are 1220 people within 10 minutes of Trinity United Church who identify themselves as "United Church". This amounts to 28% of the population.

The Stewards reported that expenses for January are $6084 with income being $3764. Some ideas for a spring fundraiser include:

  • Easter weekend breakfast/brunch
  • Silent Auction
  • golf tournament
  • bus tour
It's just a matter of finding people who will take those ideas and turn them into reality. Anyone? Anyone?

The Christian Education Committee reported that Sunday School will wrap up on June 1st, with a celebration service on the 22nd at Trinity. They are looking into new curriculum for the Sunday School and revisiting the idea of combining efforts with Glencoe Presbyterian. April 16 will be a book discussion evening on Oil and Water, a book that looks at Islam and Christianity.

"The Second Coming" initiative was introduced which encourages people to set aside the Second Sunday of every month for church and bringing others with them, building up to Anniversary Sunday in June.

The next meeting is set for February 20th.
