Sunday Nov. 2nd, 2025 at Trinity: Winter Light & Walking with Oma Live Author Presentations

Trinity On Main, the United Church in Newmarket, is presenting an author book talk with two books by children of Holocaust Survivors. Sunday evening at 7:00 on November 2nd, 2025.

I'm planning to go, and will have dinner on Main St. before the event.

There is no cost to attend, but kindly reserve your seat on Eventbrite.

The books will be available for purchase.

Here's a little bit of what I found on the internet about the books:

Winter Light: Vivid and lyrical, Winter Light is a deeply moving memoir dedicated to all who are coming from places of trauma. It is about the vast unknown territory of the human heart, where love and hope can rise above everything – in spite of the ghosts that still haunt you.

About the Author: Grace Feuerverger was born and raised in her beloved city of Montréal surrounded by a multitude of languages and cultures inside and outside her home. She is professor emerita of education and ethnography at the University of Toronto, and taught courses on language, culture and identity as well as peace education for many years.

Walking with Oma: Offering a poignant tale of reconciliation with the past against a backdrop of forgiveness and acceptance, Walking with Oma will resonate profoundly with those grappling with displacement and identity. For enthusiasts of both introspective narratives and captivating travelogues, Walking with Oma offers an experience both enriching and enlightening.

About the Author: Angie Littlefield was born in Hamburg, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1954. She holds an Honours B.A. in English Language and Literature from the University of Toronto, as well as a Master of Arts in English from York University. An educator for 33 years, Angie has written extensively on a variety of topics. She lives and works in Toronto

Singing Together in July and August

I posted this on my YRCC blog, and I think it applies to my Trinity Singers too. While we’re not singing together in July and August, please find opportunities to sing in other places and with other people. You can always sing in your car and in your kitchen. You can accept all invitations to cottages, camping, and beach days, and do some campfire singing. Or, sing while you paddle around in a lake. Sound carries over water, so have some buddies join you if you’re not comfortable with a solo performance. Orchestrate some backyard sing-alongs if you can. Singing outdoors in the summer is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed the free concerts in Aurora and Newmarket in the past. They have ‘tribute bands’ who perform all the hits you know, and you’ll want to sing and dance along. (would be nice if they projected the lyrics for us, because we're used to having those words now) I’ve added these concerts to my YRCC Calendar to encourage my choristers to go. I’...

TOMORROW! Pride Festival, Trans March, Pride Parade

June 5th, 2025 Sing-along Café is Outdoors!

We're going to be outside, singing along with a cover band, Telltale Sounds, at the 2025 Newmarket Music Series Lineup Launch Party! Then, we'll sing and dance to Glenn Marais and the Mojo Train! I think we'll want to bring lawn chairs, and maybe a snack and a beverage. There will be a food truck there if you want to get something fun. We are asked to bring a Food Bank Donation. We'll head down together on foot from the Park Street entrance at 6:15. Hopefully that will be early enough to get parking behind the church and get a spot to sit at Riverwalk Commons. We'll walk across Main Street, down the stairs to the parking lot, and across towards the community centre, unless some of us have issues with stairs, then we'll go down the ramp at the next block that ends up just behind the community centre. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather (should be perfect, not too warm, not too cool). I'm a big fan of these free summer concerts. Can't wait...
