TRINITY VISION STATEMENT
A Home in the Heart of the City, Rooted in the past, compassion-ately engaged in the present, and building a hopeful future.
Welcome!
Founded in 1835, Trinity Anglican Church Barrie is a welcoming church located in downtown Barrie. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and dignified environment for individuals to reflect, worship, and connect with the community through our 21+ outreach initiatives. We recently celebrated our 188th birthday, and would love it if you came to worship with us and be part of our rich history.

Announcements:
1. As you have likely heard, Sue has accepted a position within the Central Simcoe Regional Ministry as the Executive Pastoral Assistant. Which is really a fancy title that means Sue is going to be assisting Canon Simon and Rev Andrew Kuhl with their administrative work load. This will help free them up to focus more time and attention on their important ministry work that they often don't have time to focus on because of their heavy administrational load. If you have any specific questions about this roll, Sue would be happy to answer those for you. But, what this means, is that Sue will be leaving her position as Parish Administrator. After a careful selection process, our hiring committee (of Laura Johnston, Bill Sergeant, Lynne Dryla, and Sue) have hired a new administrator. She will work at Trinity on Tuesday’s and Friday’s from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Her name is Gillian and she will be a wonderful addition to our team. So, this will be Sue’s last weekly email to you in this role, but not to worry, as she has mentioned, She will still be involved in the life and ministry of Trinity in many new and exciting capacities. Beginning next week, these weekly emails will be sent by Gillian. If you need to get in touch with Sue going forward, please use the following email address: trinitybarrie@toronto.anglican.ca
2. We’re thrilled to share that Trinity Anglican Church is participating in the Anglican Foundation’s Say Yes! to Kids (SYTK) campaign — a national initiative that supports programs and spaces for children and youth across Canada. At Trinity, we’re committed to nurturing the next generation of faith. Funds raised through SYTK will help us create a child-friendly, family worship area making our church more welcoming and inclusive for families and children. Our goal is $5,000.
Your weekly offerings are what sustain our ministries, outreach, and building needs, and it’s important to us that this campaign does not take away from those essential contributions. If you are in a position to give a little extra, the SYTK campaign offers a meaningful opportunity to invest in the future of our church family and support new and vibrant ways to grow together. The link to the donor page is https://tinyurl.com/sytk2025barrie. Go to the "Donate to this Team" button and follow instructions. We will have envelopes in the pews shortly, or you can just put an envelope on the collection plate marked SYTK".

3. LOOKING FOR KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS: A small group of us have been busy knitting and crocheting miniature orange sweaters and poppies for next fall. We are hoping to have enough to put together two tribute displays. The orange sweaters will be for National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30th and the poppies will be for Remembrance Day on November 11th. If you would like to be a part of this, or just have a question, please speak with Jacki Garrett or Judy Craig.
