“Trinity United Church is an inclusive and welcoming community that nurtures love of God, respects creation, seeks justice and serves others.”
As we gather for worship we remember that in this region we live, work and worship on lands that are, by law, the unceded territories of the Wabanaki peoples-predominantly the lands of the Mi’kmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy. May we live with respect of this land and live in peace with its people.

The next concert will be on Sunday, February 5 at 2:00pm featuring Vivian and Ivan Hicks. Ivan and Vivian Hicks are distinguished for their contribution to preserve and promote old-time fiddling throughout North America. Their music has roots steeped in tradition but their approach to getting it into the hearts and minds of people is modern and innovative. Whether they are supporting school children to learn the violin or inviting entire motor coaches of intrigued music lovers into their home, their down-home approach means new friends and fans of their music emerge each day. They blend this with a busy schedule of performances yearly across Canada and the United States and an active interest in recognizing new talented musicians and bringing them to the stage with them. Tickets are $10.00 in advance or $12.00 at the door.
On Sunday, February 16 at 2pm be sure to watch for Fiddlers’ Sons and Keelin Wedge.

The group will showcase new tunes, stories and songs which will be featured on their new cd, set to be released this spring. Tickets are $15.00
Doors open at 1:15. Advance tickets are available at the church office at 90 Spring Street in Summerside during regular business hours or from Wendell at 902 954 1235.
Trinity United Church
“Ministry and Service Celebration Fair”
Call for Displays – all Trinity Teams and Groups
Date: January 26, 2020 (Storm Date, February 9, 2020)
All Trinity United Church Teams, Groups, Projects and Programs are invited to participate in a “Ministry and Service Celebration Fair” to be held on January 26, 2020 (February 9, 2020) Storm Date.
The “Ministry and Service Celebration Fair” is a project of the Governance Task Group of the Trinity United Church Council.
Trinity United Church is well known for its broad and energetic ministry.
The purpose of the “Ministry and Service Celebration Fair” is to showcase and celebrate the many teams, tasks, projects at Trinity United Church so that our Church members know about the many forms of Ministry at our church and the opportunities for voluntarism, service and leadership available.
Through this Showcase and other communication activities, we hope to raise awareness and to attract and energize new volunteers to contribute and serve.
What’s involved?
The “Ministry and Service Celebration Fair” will be set up trade show style in the gym. Tables (booths) will be set up for groups to showcase and promote their particular team, project, or program. Each display should provide information about the mandate of the group, some of the main projects you do and some of your accomplishments. Pictures, banners, colorful artwork, music, all help tell your story. Be sure to tell people about any volunteer opportunities you have and how they can get involved.
The Fair will take place immediately following the church service.
What’s the First Step?
Talk about the “Ministry and Service Celebration Fair” with your group. If you wish to enter a display or perhaps lead some type of activity during the Fair please send a note to Nancy Small, at Kandnsmall@pei.sympatico.ca. For more information, you may contact Nancy, Rev. Rachel (rachel@trinitysummerside.ca) or any of the Governance Task Group members (Garth Waite, Elaine Burrows, Steve Mollins, or Sean Lough).

TRINITY CONCERT SERIES: On January 19 at 2:00 in the afternoon, Trinity United Church will host a variety concert featuring such performers as Jeannie Campbell and Charles Reid, Parker Murray, Keelin Wedge and Not All There Band.
Parker Murray is a piccolo bass player who has performed across PEI. Parker is a singer and songwriter who covers blues to pop music through his original songs. Parker plays piccolo bass and bass guitar, drums and piano, all which can be heard on his 10-12 song album of original songs being released under the name Dawn Parker. He is seventeen years old and a grade 12 student at Three Oaks Senior High School.
Keelin Wedge started music lessons at the age of five, competed against other fiddlers at childhood fiddle competitions and now she is currently a member of the P.E.I. band Fiddlers’ Sons. Wedge is one of the most accomplished fiddlers, musicians and singers to come out of Western P.E.I. The St. Louis native blends a mix of fiddle, guitar, bass, mandolin, drums and singing, and the high energy performer also step dances and plays in several bands with several ranges of music genres. According to fellow band mate, Courtney Hogan “When you invite Keelin to play at a ceilidh, it’s like inviting a 12 piece band.”
Jeanie Campbell & Charles Reid bring an eclectic musical mix to the stage with songs ranging from old country to new and classic rock to originals. The duo of Jeanie, who sings with the popular dance band Phase II And Friends, and Charles, guitarist and singer with Party Mix, teamed up as way to play some of their favorite songs.
Not All There Band has been performing at ceilidhs and kitchen parties for nearly 25 years now and, still, you never know who may or may not be there for a gig. The core group consists of Gary Arsenault, Mike Johnston, Romona Roberts and Wendell Cameron and whoever else shows up. They do a great mix of cover tunes from Maritime, to Celtic, to Country and Rock and Roll.
Doors open at 1:15 and admission is $12.00. Advance tickets are available at the church office at 90 Spring Street in Summerside during regular business hours for $10.00 each or from Wendell at 902 954 1235.
