All are welcome to join us for worship this morning at 10:30AM.

You may have seen in the news this past week that sadly we experienced an act of vandalism at the front of the church (Trenton United) where both our Pride Flag and our Every Child Matters Flag were torn down from their moorings outside the sanctuary entrance. We were saddened and disappointed to learn that this act had taken place, and we deeply appreciated the quick response and support from the OPP.
This coming Sunday morning (November 19th) through the help of our TUC Pride Team and Outreach Committee our plan is to raise new flags once more as a sign to the community that Trenton United won't let criminal acts or violence deter us from working toward greater solidarity with Indigenous peoples and with the LGBTQ+ community in our region. In worship on Sunday at 10:30 am in the Middle Auditorium we will celebrate the diversity of our church family, and gather as followers of the Christ who cherishes each one of us as God's children.
A reminder as well that if you would like to share in a further stand of solidarity, you are welcome to join Bay of Quinte Pride and the TUC Pride Team on Monday evening (November 20th) from 7 to 8 PM for a gathering in our Middle Auditorium at the church (85 Dundas Street East in Trenton) to commemorate Transgender Day of Remembrance (doors will open at 6:30 PM).

11/11/2023

All are welcome to join us for worship and our children's program This Sunday as we gather and commemorate Remembrance Sunday. In this week's sermon Rev Isaac will be reflecting on the poem "In Flanders Fields" and how it offers us an opportunity for new understandings of how we are called to be a people of hope. Likewise, our Sunday School will be gathering for a special Remembrance program in their classroom during worship following the Spirit Exchange time.

Come join us Sunday at 10:30am.

This week during Sunday worship at 10:30 AM in the Middle Auditorium we’ll be beginning a new worship series called “Passion for the Possible” as we look to Christ’s hope in the challenges of today’s world. In week one of this series we will be centering on how we balance our fears and hopes about life beyond death, and how this impacts our lives in the here and now.

All are welcome. Bring a friend!

10/14/2023

This week we are pleased to have Rev David Mundy (yes the Reverend Father) as our worship leader. This week, in keeping with our current study series we invite you to consider the place and importance of the Sabbath in our lives.

While the term "sabbath" may seem like a relic from the past, the implications of our "pedal to the metal" society needs the corrective of what the Jewish scholar, Abraham Heschel, called "cathedrals in time", the opportunity for individuals, communities, and Creation to be restored.

All are welcome to join us Sunday at 10:30 for worship and our children's program.

10/14/2023

We are also inviting members of the church family this Sunday to bring in an object that represents something that they are thankful for that we will put on a table at the front of the worship space in the Middle Auditorium during the service.

Trenton United Church friends, can we ask you a favour? Whether you have a toy drum, a ukulele, or a spare tuba lying around the house, if you have one, could you bring an instrument with you to church on Sunday? You don't need to be a virtuoso, or even know how to play in order to qualify as an instrumentalist for this service, but the more instruments the better!
