Worship Report 2019
The Trinity Worship Team consists of Sue LeBlanc, Lynne Bruce, Liz Chorkawy, Gaetanne Evans, Bryan Chisnell, Adrien Gravelle, Rev. Kathy Dahmer and Pam Brown. We gather throughout the year to connect, pray, contemplate and consider themes, activities and ongoing practices that will be meaningful to worshipping God as a faith community. This year we planned to be more intentional and consider our Spiritual nourishment by spending time at the beginning of our meetings for devotional / reflection time.
We are grateful for the offerings of music provided by many at Trinity. The Choir shared an anthem during most Sunday services throughout the year. As well, the Trinity Band brought a wealth of talent and rhythm, enhancing the Worship experience, particularly at our Intergenerational Services. At a Lenten service, the Band played “Love Like This” and Gillian signed the words. We’ve also been blessed by the Quintette who provided their gifts of music in June as well as December. In May, the Confirmation class, accompanied by Jonathon belted out the song, “You Will Be Found”... it was awesome! Additionally, Trinity’s Senior Youth were joined by Sarnia’s, Dunlop United Youth Group in November, singing “I Will Remember You”. That same service, Rev. Adam Kilner gave the Meditation and the Youth offered the lion’s share of the Worship components.
During times when Rev. Kathy was on study leave and vacation, the
Worship Team provided much of the leadership in services. As well,
Diane Tait, Bryan Chisnell, Larry Dahmer and Pam Brown offered
Meditations. Additionally, Rev. Melody Duncanson-Hales provided
pulpit supply for several services this past year. In June we shared a
bitter-sweet time as we said goodbye to Diane Tait as she has taken
on an Appointment at St. Andrew’s in Massey and attended her first
year at Atlantic School of Theology. Rev. Kathy shared a beautiful
and inspiring blessing for Diane and what seemed like the whole
congregation laid hands on her as the words were spoken. In
October, in recognition of “World Homeless Day”, the Mission and
Outreach team presided over the service arranging for Guest speaker, Pastor Brad from Elgin Street Mission.
Trinity engaged in numerous special services throughout the year, including Holy Week with Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. This year we handed out garbage bags for Lent and considered “40 days of Letting Go”, focusing on the garbage/baggage we carry and hear, both physically / emotionally. A Palm Parade was particularly impactful a s Laura pointed and shouted, “I see Him” describing Jesus entering on a donkey. You had to be there! The Holy Spirit certainly was! Maundy Thursday service was well attended and included hand washing as well as sharing in a delicious meal around the Table. Good Friday held sacred space for the Worship Team along with Kristin to perform“Iwasthere”. Rev.Kathy delivered inspiring ,provoking and faith filled meditations as Worship rounded out weeks of Lent and Easter. Other special services throughout the year included the weddings of Bob and Linda Risk as well as Jonathon and Kryspin Swift. Baptism celebrations consisted of Dax at Trinity’s Font. As well, many in the congregation took to the shore of Meatbird Lake where Cody O’Neil and Rylee Wafer experienced full immersion Baptism. We are so grateful to Rev. Kathy for her willingness to perform this Sacrament in such chilly water! Special thanks goes to Rick Wise for the use of the wetsuits. Additionally, we celebrated the Dedication of Audette Back.
Trinity celebrated with other local churches for World Day of Prayer in March. This year the host church was St. Pius Catholic and the country we highlighted was Slovenia with a theme of “Come, Everything is Ready”. We are grateful for Brian Walton who provided the readings on behalf of Trinity in this special service. In another, the Trinity Teddies had a time of dedication during an early spring service, with some new colourful donated Teddies finding special homes.
Celebrating Communion throughout the year continued to include a time for healing prayers, with the exception at Lent, where we focused specifically at the Table. At Lent, we were greeted with the offering of fresh baked bread that Rev. Kathy would prepare to be ready for the time of the service. We would come hungry to the meal. As well, in addition to the regular monthly Communion Services, a Full Communion was conducted in June by the new Confirmands. We are extremely grateful for Ann Roy who so generously gives her time to set the Communion Table with the necessary elements throughout the year. As well, we want to thank Sue LeBlanc for crafting a second pottery plate for serving individuals as they partake in Communion from their seats. They’re beautiful!
The Christmas season consisted of the theme “Jesus, Light of the World”. The Worship Team gathered for a ‘work bee’ and assembled approximately 100 ‘Christ Candles’ to share at Advent 1. The ‘reusable’ candle base encouraged the congregation to continue to replace the candle when necessary and use it as a Spiritual Practice to centre oneself. The Base of the candles was stained glass (many sourced from Trinity’s original windows as well as the Creighton Church), with grateful thanks going to Lynne Bruce for the huge undertaking of cutting and preparing all of the pieces. During Advent, a specific Video played each week, accompanied by narration, accenting Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Additionally, we engaged as a congregation in reciting a ‘Body Prayer’ during this season, incorporating movement with words.
Trinity engaged in a Memorial Hymn Sing for the first time during the Christmas season and proved to be a particularly meaningful and moving service for all those in attendance. As well, during the season, community members, along with other churches gathered with Trinity to Worship at the Longest Night service. Rev. Kathy provided a deeply powerful meditation and many stayed to linger with a cup of tea in the Narthex.
We are grateful to Adrien Gravelle for the creation and display of the ice candles that illuminated our path on Christmas Eve. The 4pm service, lovely music was provided by Larry, Kate and Ethan. Rev. Kathy shared a fun and uniquely different activity from the services of the past which involved a pageant of sorts. Although attendance was not typical of a Christmas Eve 4pm service, the congregational response and inclusive scripture retelling as well as the message of “there is room for all at the stable” was well received. Christmas Eve 7pm service included special Meditation from Rev. Kathy, candlelight Communion and a sweet Choir contribution. Christmas morning Birthday Party for Jesus provided time for sharing, story time with Kristin of where “Oliver fits” in with a message from Rev. Kathy as to how we fit at the stable. We sang and had birthday cupcakes and some of us held Baby Jesus...when Nicholas would share Him!
