The Next 100 Years Begins…

One Hundred years ago – in 1912 the present Pipe Organ was installed in the church, and since that time has been faithfully maintained by the congregation. The Organ was built by “The Canadian Organ Co.” from Quebec and was a four manual instrument though quite a bit smaller than the present instrument. The instrument has been maintained over the years and some significant times pop out where major revisions and work was done. The present console was built by Casavant Freres in 1950/1 and in 1963/4 the Organ was revised and enlarged by the British Company “Hill, Norman and Beard” where the Positiv Division was added and some of the most delightful Pipework installed. In the 1990’s further work was undertaken to rebuild, clean and re-wind the instrument and a new stop was added to the Swell organ called the “Chalameau” at the 4 foot pitch. Since then, and of course for all those significant years between works – the organ has continued to play and be a significant factor in the worship life of the congregation. Providing the maintenance of the Organ continues, there is no reason why this instrument should not be playing 100 years from now.

20 Minutes With God - Prayer

For many years Holy Trinity has offered a bi-annual noon-hour series for people in the downtown area who wished to seek some spiritual refreshment during the workday.  Formerly called "Six Weeks to Wholeness," the series underwent a name change last fall with the new name of "20 Minutes With God."  The newest series starts this coming Tuesday at 12:10p.m., and along with it comes another change. 

The series will run from April 17 until May 22, on Tuesdays.

In the past this series has always featured speakers, presenting on various topics about the Christian life.  This time around the series will focus on personal reflection and prayer.  When you arrive at the church there will be music playing, as well, there will be readings from the Bible, and prayer stations for those who wish to have someone pray with or for them. 

If you are looking for some refreshment over the next six weeks, we invite you to join us over the lunch hour on those six Tuesdays.  You are welcome to stay for the whole time, but even if you feel you just need five minutes to allow yourself to be embraced by the Holy Spirit, please, drop in.

Baptism

Here are a few thoughts on baptism for anyone who might be considering baptism for yourself or for your children.

The sacrament of baptism, as practiced by the Anglican Church, is the welcoming of the child or adult into the church.  This is not the church as an organization, but rather what John W. B. Hill in his booklet "Thinking About Baptism," refers to as the "community of Jesus, sharing in his mission of hope to the world."  It is in this context that a child or adult will then be able to grow into the fullness of their faith.
