About Us
Our Mission / Notre Mission
As people of Plymouth-Trinity United Church we strive to
- be a welcoming and caring community following the example of Jesus Christ;
- share in meaningful worship for those who long to hear Good News;
- deepen our faith and share it with people of all ages;
- listen to and learn from our brothers and sisters of other faiths and denominations;
- promote justice and peace in our city and in our world.
- d’être une communauté accueillante et attentionnée en suivant l’exemple de Jésus-Christ;
- d’offrir un lieu de partage où la prière et la louange prennent tout leur sens pour ceux qui souhaitent ouvrir leur cœur à la Bonne Nouvelle;
- d’approfondir notre foi et la partager avec des personnes de tout âge;
- d’apprendre de nos frères et nos sœurs de fois ou de dénominations différentes en pratiquant l’écoute;
- de promouvoir la justice et la paix dans notre ville et notre monde.
Our Congregation
We come from varying geographical and religious backgrounds, and many aspects of our congregational life reflect this diversity. We are bound by a strong congregational fabric and value times of fellowship.
Our worship is a mixture of contemporary and traditional styles. Music and the Children's Time are both integral parts of our services. We are working towards a greater use of French in worship, acknowledging our french-speaking parishioners.
We publish our church newsletter Update twice a year, with reports on past and future events and news about our church community. Our dedicated UCW group undertakes two major annual fundraising events and supports the congregation in many other ways.
Our building is wheelchair-accessible and has an elevator between the sanctuary and main hall.
Outreach
Our members and adherents are involved in more than 30 community groups. As a Jubilee community, we encourage the purchase of local and Fair Trade Products. We engage in annual outreach products such as Lenten, fall and Christmas campaigns for local and overseas needs, as well as weekly offerings for the local food bank.
Our outreach activities:
- Aube-Lumière (palliative care residence): Christmas poinsettias
- Grocery coupons for those in need
- Lenten project: for a “worthy cause”, local or far away
- L’Escale (women’s shelter): toiletries, mostly from UCW
- Mission and Service Fund: average annual givings of over $19,000 between 1998-2008
- Mitten tree: knitted items, formerly for children in Chernobyl; now for Mental Health Estrie
- Moisson Estrie (food bank): pennies, weekly food box, harvest food and money at Thanksgiving
- Sherbrooke and Lennoxville Elementary Schools: fall donations for school supplies and supervision, food and money for Christmas baskets
- UNICEF: Christmas gifts in name of children and youth
Next Sunday - February 12, 2012
