Faith in an Emergency

Posted on: 06/30/2012 11:02

It was after 8:00pm on Monday evening when I phoned the Rev Bob Gardner and his congregation of Holy Trinity United in Elliot Lake. I had flown into Toronto from Saskatoon’s Truth and Reconciliation event, and was met with the horrifying news about the Algo Mall collapse on the airport screens.

I assumed that I would be leaving a message at the church at that late hour. But, no. A woman named Ruth answered. She was among those cleaning up from having served another meal to the many rescue workers. Bob was still in the hall so we had a good talk.

Welcome to Holy Trinity United Church

Our congregation includes people from diverse backgrounds, denominations and faith traditions. We warmly welcome all to our common life of worship and service. This site is not meant to draw active participants from other church denominations or religious groups. It is simply offering those who do not have any affiliation an invitation to join an exciting and dynamic Christian community. At the heart of our activities is the worshipping congregation celebrating the inclusive love of God, made known through Jesus Christ. That love makes a difference in our lives and challenges us to make a difference in the world. Through prayer and music, friendship and service, laughing and learning, we seek to know God is in our midst and make God known to others.

Supporting families has always been a focus of ministry at Holy Trinity. Our worship service each Sunday starts at 10:30.

The congregation offers many programs to address the needs and interests of its participants. As well, a number of community-based groups are hosted in the church facility. Activities include a number of musical choirs and groups, a Bible Study group, women's groups, support groups and social gatherings. New participants are always welcome.

In a time when busy lives often leave people feeling stressed and overwhelmed, the faith community is a haven where people are encouraged to meet God.
