The Mission of Trinity United Church is to be the ears, eyes, feet, hands and heart of Christ in the Harrowsmith-Verona area and in the world
Trinity
United Church acknowledges the traditional territory upon which we gather. For
thousands of years, the First Peoples sought to walk gently on this land. They
offered assistance to the first European travelers and shared their knowledge
for survival. We seek a new relationship with the First Peoples of this land,
one based in honour and deep respect.

O God, we invoke your presence among
us in this time of worship. Your name is proclaimed through all the earth, and
by your hand we are made victorious over unclean spirits and unbelief’s that
stock our paths. When we ponder your greatness, we are filled with awe. When we
come to this place of worship, we are amazed. Who are we to approach your
majesty? How can we fulfill the covenant you offer us? Come, Spirit of truth,
to show us the way. Amen.

DEDICATION OF
THE OFFERING:
(Standing) tune Ellacombe.........VU #164
You send us out, good news
to share
With all the doubting world,
For Christ has taught us how
to care
Despite invectives hurled.
We seek not honour or acclaim
But only to extend
The service done in Jesus’
name,
More broken lives to mend.
OFFERTORY
PRAYER: (Unison)
Thank you God for your steadfast
love. We offer our praise. May it reach to the ends of the earth. We ask that our
gifts empower ministry in this place and wherever our influence can reach. Let
unbelief be turned to faith, ignorance to knowledge, sickness to health,
brokenness to wholeness, as we seek to invest our best for the sake of Christ.
Amen.
