Approximately 175 members and guests filled the auditorium and basement where a sound system had been installed. A beautiful flower arrangement in memory of our forefathers and past members sat on the communion table in front of the pulpit. William Irvin, the ' clerk of ses- sion welcomed everyone and drew. attention to the cross that was on the wall behind the pulpit.

It's also interesting to note have experienced the support of the church through the trials of their lives and also in happy _ times. Gordon thanked the Trinity com- munity for . the support they gave him and his family through the sick- ness and death of his two brothers. He mentioned the world is changing and so has the church changed since biblical times. In order to stay relative to today's world it's important that everyone build bridges and . not walls and approach difficult situations with an open mind. The church has, to work. with family issues that are changing the world and the • At the close of the service William Irvin thanked everyone for coming and for all who helped to make this a very sufccessfu1 anniversary. He also said a special thank you to all who took part in the . service. He then invited everyone to come over to Brookside Public School for a luncheon and a social time. At Brookside. School close to 130 sat down to a smorgasbord lunch of sand- wiches, squares, relishe_ s and two 140th anniversary cakes. On the walls were many photos on bristol board depicting different divisions of the church's past. The collec- tion included pho- tos of past minis- ters, UCW activi- ties, junior and senior choirs, Sunday - School special events and many more photos relating to the past of Trinity Church. There were also two tables of past memorabilia that included old financial_ state- ments, one dating back to 1927. There was also a stone plate saved from Blake's church .when it was taken down. Inscribed on the stone was when the church was built in 1892 and the church's name. During and after lunch everyone reminisced with friends, many they had not seen in years. It was an. anniversary that will always be. remembered. that six genera- tions of Hacketts have attended this church as well. The title of Gordon's message was Celebrating the Church and Re -imagining its Future. He men- tioned that in for- mer years the church was the central meeting place in the com- muhity. Today through many opportunities to advance and improve their lives and their careers, many of our young people go to the cities or travel abroad while others get involved in sports and other commit- ments. We live in a changing world and church atten- dance is dropping, even in Gordon's church in Kitchener.
