Coffee Volunteers did you know…
that there are quite a few boxes of cookies that can be put out for coffee hour after the service. They have been donated over time and should be used up. They have been in the freezer, so are still quite fresh.
Thank you, Carol Wells-Gordon

UCW Bobcaygeon
Several women met on Thursday, November 21st to discuss the future of the “United Church Women” (UCW) Bobcaygeon group. There were some from the Faith, Hope and Love unit, Harmony unit, as well as Providence. We all felt that there is still a need and desire to continue the good work of the women at Trinity.
High on the list of continuance would be fellowship. Once a month, every third Thursday at 2:00pm we will meet in the Fellowship Room. We will enjoy social time together with the occasional speaker, craft, game or potluck luncheon.
Some past cherished programs were very much valued and would continue with the help of the church. Such as: Meat Pies, Christmas Bazaar, Funeral luncheons. Also, our financial support of the local Women’s Shelter, Bobcaygeon Food Bank, Hat and Mitten Tree; Camp Quin Mo Lac, to list a few. The February 2025 meeting will be held on the 20th and we will reminisce about our past UCW. See you all there. Kim Draper
