1 The Grapevine Trinity Anglican Church September 2010 Worshiping God as disciples of Jesus; showing love to our neighbours near and far. Dear Friends, September...a wonderful time of year. A time to get back into a routine...a time to make plans for the winter, a time to thank God for a wonderful summer of sunshine and heat! For the first time in many years there is a planning calendar on my refrigerator...my grandsons are busy and I need to know when my house guests are coming and going. I bet you have one on your fridge too! In this September edition of The Grapevine you will notice that there is a lot of activity at Trinity this fall...so get out your calendar while you re reading so you can make a note of things you re interested in attending. New to our church family? Not to worry because on September 26 th after the 10am service we will be having a Ministry Fair and you can find out all about the interesting things going on at Trinity. Add 15 minutes to your church time that Sunday so you can learn more about what is happening at Trinity and how you can get involved. I know whenever I have been new to a neighbourhood or even after being there a long time, I have meet some of the nicest people at church events...and it is even more fun to participate! Our God is an awesome God...come and find out for yourself! Rev Andrea Naming ceremony for Noah Plante, Sunday, June 6 th. Parents Kelley and Jeremy, and big brother, Cedric, look on.

2 2 TREASURER S LOOKING CORNER. Summary of Trinity s Operating Fund at the end of August 2010: Income $138,000 Expenses $152,000 It is normal for offerings to increase after the Summer hopefully this year will be no exception. The Campaign in May and June generated $3,700 to reduce this year s predicted deficit. The usual Record of Offering will be issued to all shortly after the last Sunday in September. -David Wilson.
