Please let Diane Brailey (dianembrailey@gmail.com) know what you could bring to, so that we know there is a good variety. Sign-up sheets will be available after the morning services on Nov 23, 30 and Dec 7.
Finger food should be pre-plated and brought by those attending that service to the kitchen BEFORE the service. It will be organized & ready to enjoy after the service. ** For the evening celebration, please just bring your goodies and treats along and we’ll share them together after the service.
As always this is being organized by the Chancel Guild with the help of many other willing hands for set up and clean up. We will decorate the room and do our best to make it a happy day for everyone! Many thanks to everyone – Morning Chancel Team (Diane, Dianne, Liz, Nancy, Darlene, Elena, Thelma, Ian & David)

Blue Christmas
2025-12-17 19:30 - 21:00 UTC | Little Trinity Church, 425 King St. East, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 1L3, Canada
Wed, Dec 17, 7:30pm – This is an intimate Communion service centred on the comfort and love of God, rather than the “making merry” celebrations of our culture during this season. This service will be held in person and livestreamed.
Join us as we share our lack or loss or sorrow and seek to open ourselves to a deeper and more profound celebration – one that has room for sorrow in the midst of joy and, perhaps, joy in the midst of our sorrow.
If you are remembering the loss of a loved one, you are welcome to bring a picture of that loved one to share during the prayers of the people. But there are many other kinds of loss and grief, both tangible and intangible. Some are experiencing and grieving alienation and breakdown in family relationships. We will make room for these and all the losses we are experiencing this Christmas season. Livestream Link Bulletin
