In Memory

In November, Trinity lost a great friend and colleague. Fred Bridges was the custodian for 7 years and made it his mission in life to keep the church spotless. He was a tireless worker, but loved to tease and joke. He brought coffee to the staff each morning and gave a reason to gather for a few moments of gossip, stories and sharing. Fred will be missed by all.

Rev. Davies and his wife raised their children on a farm near Stirling, where they were dairy farmers.  Arthur graduated from Queen's University (Kingston) with a B.A. then went on and received his M. Div from Queen's Theological College.  He was settled on the Plattsville Washington Pastoral Charge, and later moved to St. James in Waterdown for an interim appointment at Calvary, St. Jacob's.  Along the way he
graduated with a Doctor of Ministry from the University of Toronto.

His hobbies are music, woodworking, and worship.  He is excited at the prospect of bringing God's word to people of all ages, and working at putting life and energy into the church!
