Attendees of Holy Trinity Church gathered in the pews to rejoice in song and prayer one last time on Sunday as the 63-year-old place of worship will soon be demolished.“It’s definitely bittersweet,” said minister Susan Koyle. “I will miss the large fellowship space that we had.”
Cara will be expanding its affordable housing in the area with the $35-million apartment building, which will mark the corporation’s fourth major development. “They’ve set aside a nice space for us every Sunday,” she said. “It might not feel like the usual idea of a ‘church,’ but it’s exciting because we’re moving closer to what the very early church experience was: coming together, sitting around in a circle, praising God, and being a community.”
Frances Glover has seen that evolution firsthand as she’s been a devoted member of the church for the past 70 years.
