TRINITY's Service of Light
2025-11-26 19:00 - 20:00 | Trinity Anglican Church, Canada
Trinity will be holding its’ annual Service of Light on Wednesday November 26th at 7pm. The most frequent comment I receive the Sunday following is “I wish I had attended the Service of Light”. Don’t let this be your comment on the 1st Sunday of Advent. The timing of this service is not accidental, as it is designed to be a time where we intentionally, openly, be one with God with the intent to leave one or more of our cares at the foot of the cross. We will light a candle or more for the cares we have, be it a loved one who is beyond our sight, our health, a relationship – whatever is weighing you down. We together will leave these cares at the foot of the cross. The hour service is designed for us to soak in prayer, music and have the opportunity one-on-one to ask for healing. I hope to see you on this evening. Reverend Steven Scribner
