“Dear Trinity” Pen Pal Program
Join us in writing letters to one another this fall!
How does it work?
Everyone who signs up will be paired with another person from Trinity. Each week you’ll be sent a prompt to inspire your letter to your pen pal. Then, bring your letter to church on Sunday and drop it off at the Trinity Post Office (in the parish hall). You can also check to see if there’s a letter waiting for you! Read your letter and write back. We’ll keep the program going until October 26.
Can I participate if I join church online?
Yes! When you sign up please indicate that you typically join church online and select whether you prefer to receive the letters via email or via Canada Post. Please note that if you choose Canada Post there may be some delay in receiving the letters and you will be responsible to pay for postage.
Here are some prompts to inspire your letters. Feel free to also include other details, if you feel comfortable sharing, and respond to the information and stories shared by your pen pal.
