Pastoral Care (1 Corinthians 1:4-5)

Our team reaches out and responds in the name of Christ to serve and care for the Trinity community in times of need.
Please contact Muriel Laughton at (613) 836-4114 if you would like to talk with a member of our caring team.
Our team meets monthly as a small group supporting one another, praying, learning, planning, and fellowshipping together.

Our pastoral care team has trained under The Ottawa Pastoral Care Training Program (ottawapastoralcare.com).

Prayer Requests

This is an informal group of Trinity’s members who have offered to pray for special prayer requests forwarded to them via email jeanfgallant@gmail.com.

Emergencies are handled by phone (613) 836-1429.

 

Mission Committee

The Mission Committee at Trinity is very active with the projects undertaken based on committee and congregational interests and strengths.  Often working in liaison with Presbyterian World Service and Development (PWS&D), the purpose of this committee is to actively involve our Trinity faith community in reaching out to local and global communities to help those in need.

The Committee is aware of the demands on busy lives so this Committee tries to conduct much of their business by email.  We heartily welcome new members!
