Ash Wednesday Express:
Designed with the busy person in mind, the ten minute service offers the opportunity
to begin the day, and the Christian season of Lent,
and then grab a cup of coffee (or refill the travel mug).
The'Express' service will include the possibility of receiving the traditional 'imposition of ashes' - the sign of the cross on your forehead, or on the back of your hand. There will also be the option of the sign of the cross made with water, or with unscented oil. The coffee will be on, and we are serious about you filling up your travel mug as you go! Trinity will be accepting free-will donations for the United Church Haiti Relief Fund. Trinity United Church is at 1250 McCraney Street East in Oakville, a bit north of Oakville Place, and just off of Trafalgar Road. |
