Welcome!!

Our Parish includes two congregations or communities of faith:  Trinity Shared Ministry in Clearwater and the Church of St Paul in Barriere.  Both congregations are Ecumenical Shared Ministries relating to The United Church of Canada, The Anglican Church of Canada, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.

For information about our denominations, see the Denominational News page and the individual pages for each denomination found in the “About Us” menu under “Denominational News”.  Current news, events, and work of the denominations are included in written reports that are found on the Denominational News page as well as in the posts appearing under “Latest News” at the bottom of this page.

Our in-person worship services are held at the following times and places.

 

Safety Protocols:

Currently, we are encouraging those who attend worship to wear masks and to be mindful of keeping a physical distance of two metres in most circumstances.  Those speaking to the entire congregation may remove their masks.  Offerings are collected in a basket at the entrance to the church.  We ask that people who are not feeling well to refrain from attending.

While we have in-person worship services, prerecorded video services will not be posted to our YouTube channel.  Sufficient resources are not available to provide both in-person and on-line services.

Opportunities to Share Our Blessings
beyond Our Communities of Faith

For ways to donate to relief efforts in Türkiye and Syria following the devastating earthquakes there, see this post.

Through the Advent and Christmas seasons, our two congregations collected new socks and underwear as well as personal hygiene items for a shelter in Kamloops.  See the results in this post.

The Territory of the People is still accepting donations for the communities within the Territory that were devastated by fire and flood.  There are two separate funds:  the Lytton Fire Fund and the Nicola Valley Flood Fund.  The Territory website has a “Donate Now” button linked through CanadaHelps.org – they have been receiving donations to the Lytton Fire Fund, the Nicola Valley Flood Fund, and their general revenue. The button is at the lower right side of the Territory’s home page.  When donating, please complete the section relating to where the funds are to be directed.  An official tax receipt will be issued for donations from individuals and non charitable organizations.
