Many thanks to all the volunteers for Share the Joy during the 2010 Olympics! All of your time and efforts were greatly appreciated as we reached out with the love of Christ to our neighbours and visitors! Most of the "free stuff" was given out, but if you, or anyone else, would like some materials for yourself or to continue handing out to others, please ask at the church. Although we gave away over 12,000 RCMP "We Remember 2005" pins, we still have a lot left.

A musical concert by the students of Mount Royal Music Conservatory. The conservatory is a tenant of Trinity Lutheran Church and use the upstairs Sunday School rooms for music lessons during the week. This concert was 1-1/2 hours long. Unfortunately, the recording service automatically timed out 55 minutes into the concert and we were unable to record some of the best parts of the concert, including the Lee family, a number of Big Band pieces and a musical tribute finalé to our pastor: "When the Saints Go Marching In".

Clown Service: Feb 16
Apologies for the very poor sound quality on the Clown Service, Feb 16. We were unable to monitor the audio during the service and for the first 7-1/2 minutes the sound is terrible, and for the remaining 45 minutes it is better. Most of the service (except for the sermon) is done in MIME with CD background music. Watch and enjoy! All elements of traditional church liturgies are present in the clown service. The sermon is entitled "The Boy and His Boat". (The sound at the beginning of the sermon is very faint. If you would like to hear and see the sermon in full, please click here.)
Explanation of Christian Clowning: Clowning has its roots in the Church of the middle ages (around 1200 A.D.) when many people could not read or write. Clown/mimes would act out the great stories of the Bible. At this time stain glass windows were invented to tell the stories of our Faith. Clowning left the Church and then became more known in circuses and street performances. In the early 1960’s, a Lutheran Pastor named Floyd Shaffer brought clowning back into the Church. Christian clowns lead worship, visit in nursing homes and hospitals, and perform dramas with a biblical message. The “white face” represents death and the bright colours represent resurrection joy. Pastor Harold has had his alter ego Isaac since 1979. Isaac is a Hebrew word for Laughter.
