Sunday Worship Services

Sunday morning at 10:30 am we gather as a Christian community for prayer, praise and sharing the Christian story. Come dressed as you wish, sit anywhere and relax - we don't stand on ceremony here at Trinity United Church.

Communion

We celebrate holy communion on the second Sunday of every month. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Baptism & Renewal of Baptimal Faith

We celebrate baptism and the renewal of baptismal faith regularly. For more information about baptism and membership, please contact the Church office.

Offerings

During our worship, an offering is given for the work of the Church in Port Coquitlam and around the world. Regular attendees often prefer to use offering envelopes or PAR (Pre-authorized remittance) which enables the Church to provide a receipt for income tax purposes. If you would like to have offering envelopes or more information about PAR, please indicate on the "Newcomer Card" in the pews.

The United Church Crest

For our church members, this insignia is a spiritual and historical reminder:

Oval Shape is derived from the outline of a fish - a symbol of identity used by the early Christians

"X" at the centre is the first letter in the Greek word for Christ

Open Bible represents the Congregational Churches with their emphasis upon God's truth that makes people free

Dove is emblematic of the Holy Spirit whose transforming power has been a distinctive mark of Methodism

Burning Bush is a symbol of Presbyterianism and refers to the bush that was burned and not consumed, and symbolized the indestructibility of the Church

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing the eternal, living God, in the fullness of creation

Trinity Trivia

There are all sorts of quirky little things about Trinity United Church. Here are a few of them:

... Our Trinity building is now over 40 years old

... The building has eleven separate roofs

... In 2000 the Trinity United Church Food Bank served 50 families; Now, over 130 families use our Food Bank per week

... In the past 40 years, the United Church Women (UCW) have donated almost $106,000,000 to the National United Church's Mission and Service Fund!

... For the past ten years, each June, members & friends of Trinity participate in the Relay for Life - a fund raiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. We began in 1998 by raising a few hundred dollars, then a few thousand. By 2009, our teams had raised a total of $120,000. We CAN make a difference!
