2026 Preaching
In 2026, what are some of the themes or topics you'd like to hear preached at VCC? While we may not address everything (some topics/themes are better suited for different settings), your responses will be so helpful in our preparation for next year! All responses will be kept anonymous. Thank you in advance!
Out of the cold volunteers
Church, as you know, we have been partnering with Mosaic Interfaith in the Out of the Cold Program and we are looking for volunteers! This program offers overnight emergency housing during the cold months from OCTOBER to JUNE.
Volunteers are needed for various shifts starting 4pm to 7pm at Holy Trinity Anglican Church to help set-up, serve dinner, and watch over the clothing table as well as Monday morning Breakfast service for 5:30am to 7am.
Please reach out to Matthew or Julie for more information and how you can get involved.
Saturday morning prayer
Come join us for a time of prayer every other Saturdays, at 8:30am. These times will be simple and welcoming - returning to the basics, and grow in our confidence and joy in being with God.
Why prayer? Because prayer is how we learn to be with Jesus—to sit in His presence, to listen, to speak, to rest. It’s how we are formed by His heart and become more like Him. And it’s through prayer that we receive strength and guidance to do what He did—loving others, walking in obedience, and joining God in His work in the world.
Please check the calendar for the dates we will meet.
yam weekly
The Young Adults Ministry will continue to hose weekly fellowship gatherings as we work to build a stronger more intentional community. Whether you’re new or have been with us for a while, we’d love for you to join as we grow together in faith and friendship.
Every 1st Sunday will be reading scripture together.
Every 2nd Sunday will pray together guided by scripture.
Every 3rd Sunday will be a fellowship event.
The last Sunday will be reserved for rest with no formal schedule.
All are welcome!
FOODBANK DONATIONS (during communion)
We will be collecting food item donations for our local food banks during Sundays when we host Communion (first Sunday of each month). As we come to the table of Communion and break bread together, we also remember people in our local community who are experiencing food insecurity.
This a list of food items that have specifically been requested by our local food bank. We ask that you prayerfully consider picking up an item on this list during your next trip to the grocery store, and bring it with you on Sundays leading up to Communion Service.
If you have any questions, please connect with Abigaille Alpay.
