1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,760 Hello, everyone, and welcome to Trinity Talks. 2 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,760 Or as we were just saying right now, it's showtime with Primetime. 3 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,760 All right. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:19,760 I'm excited to have Diane and Gary and Judy joining me today for the conversation. 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,560 And you are all members of the ministry here that we call Primetime. 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,960 So I was wondering, Gary, first of all, could you tell me who Primetime is for? 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,120 Well, yes. 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:41,080 Now, I often hesitate to put an age factor in the answer to your question. 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,160 You know, sometimes I'll get cute about it. 10 00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:49,440 And I may say to some people, if you're collecting OAS and CPP, you can come out to Primetime. 11 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,640 Now, if they ask me what those initials stand for, I say you cannot come out to Primetime. 12 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,640 Okay? 13 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,640 I love it. 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,680 Anyway, some people might associate Primetime with people who retire. 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,040 And we know that some people retire early. 16 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,680 And we also know that some will continue working beyond their retirement years. 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,440 So I would say that if anyone's listening to this broadcast, I would just say, if there's 18 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,920 anything I'm saying right now that resonates with you, then come on out and see if that 19 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,200 two hours on a Thursday afternoon is right for you. 20 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,200 I love that. 21 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Okay, which is great segue into this conversation because we're going to be talking all about 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:38,080 what Primetime is, what your experiences have been in it so far, and what is also to come. 23 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,080 So I'm looking forward to that conversation. 24 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,200 However, in true to Trinity Talks fashion, we're going to play a little game first. 25 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,360 And it's going to be about fruit. 26 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,160 So before I explain the game, could each of you just tell me maybe what your favorite 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,440 fruit is? 28 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,200 That's hard because I like watermelon and strawberries. 29 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,200 Watermelon and strawberries. 30 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,200 Sounds good. 31 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440 Well, given my age, I like elderberries. 32 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,440 Oh, you never had one. 33 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Yes, really. 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,440 I would groom in our backyard. 35 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440 Is this a joke where you actually do like the elderberries? 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,440 Yes, elderberry pie is perfect. 37 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,440 Okay. 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,440 All right. 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,440 That's the first answer on this show for this question. 40 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,440 Your turn. 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,440 I would say raspberries. 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Okay, all right. 43 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,440 Well, thank you very much, everybody. 44 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Now, in front of you, you will see that you have a clipboard. 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:35,440 And on that clipboard, you have two fruit-based idioms, and it's just like fruit sayings that 46 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,440 are common, I believe, and they all have a fruit in them. 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,440 I'd like you to choose one. 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440 So here's just some choice for you. 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,440 And using the markers beside you, you're just going to draw that idiom. 50 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,440 And we are going to see if your fellow interviewees can guess what you are drawing. 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,440 So I'm going to give you about a minute to draw one, and then we'll see. 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440 Feel free to move your mics out of the way if you need to. 53 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,440 You have everybody here has been given a rainbow of colors, including black and brown, to make 54 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,440 sure that there is a nice equitable assortment of colors for everybody. 55 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,440 So really, there's no excuses not to have a beautiful picture here. 56 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,440 And the reason for those of you who may be joining us just now that we are talking about 57 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,440 fruit is because during our recent sermon series, we've been walking through the fruits 58 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,440 of the spirit, as they are described in Galatians. 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,440 And we are also having some fun and doing some fruit-based activities and recipes and 60 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,440 games alongside that to keep it more exciting. 61 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,440 So I see that Judy and Gary are using red. 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Diane looks like maybe some brown over there and some yellow. 63 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440 And they are deep in thought and deep artists. 64 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,440 So maybe what I'm just thinking is for the next primetime event, we could definitely 65 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,440 see some art in the future because there's some talent going on over here. 66 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,440 And I'm going to give you a countdown, everybody, of 10. 67 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,440 And we're going to wrap it up. 68 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:10,440 So we'll just count down from 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. 69 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,440 That's for Judy. 70 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,440 I'm counting slowly. 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,440 And one, perfect. 72 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,440 All right. 73 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,440 So because Diane seemed to finish first, Diane, could you just turn your paper around and 74 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:29,440 see if your contestants, I'm calling you contestants now, can guess what your fruit idiom is? 75 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,440 A banana on top. 76 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,440 A banana on top. 77 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,440 Oh, ice cream or what's the phrase? 78 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Sunday with a... 79 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,440 So I think Gary was pretty close there. 80 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440 So you're the... 81 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,440 I don't know. 82 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,440 You're the cream of the crop. 83 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440 You're the... 84 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Not the bottom. 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,440 You're the top what? 86 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,440 The top banana? 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,440 The top banana. 88 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,440 All right. 89 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,440 You said a banana on top. 90 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,440 Pretty good. 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,440 That's actually pretty good. 92 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,440 Excellent. 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,440 Some of these were easier than others, by the way. 94 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,440 All right. 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,440 So I think Gary, you finish second. 96 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,440 So let's see what you've got going here. 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,440 This is what I've got here. 98 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Everybody see that? 99 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,440 It's making me a little bit hungry. 100 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,440 Well, that does look like the ice cream with the cherry on top or the banana split. 101 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,440 Not the... 102 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,440 With a cherry on top. 103 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,440 Sunday. 104 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,440 With a cherry on top. 105 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,440 Cherry on top. 106 00:05:21,440

in school with drawing. 114 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,440 Okay. 115 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,440 It's time to... 116 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Yeah. 117 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,440 It's time to make a comeback. 118 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,440 The apple of your eye. 119 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Oh, good for you. 120 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,440 Show it to the camera, Judy. 121

If I didn't get those eyelashes in at the end. 125 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,440 I know. 126 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,440 I know that. 127 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,440 It's a very easy one. 128 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,440 That's right. 129 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,440 That's right. 130 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,440 Oh my gosh. 131 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,440 Oh, that's fun. 132

00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,440 And it's been a pleasure just getting to know you a little bit in the chairs here, but 137 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,040 maybe for the rest of us who are listening in, could you just take a moment maybe to tell 138 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,740 us a little bit about yourselves and maybe a bit about your experience here at Trinity 139 00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:07,740 Church. 140 00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:08,740 Diane. 141 00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:13,040 Well, Dave and I started coming to Trinity 36 years ago. 142 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Okay. 143 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,760 When we moved from having lived in Australia for six years. 144 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,280 And we... 145 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,080 This was the first church we came to. 146 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,200 We thought we'd go to others, but we never left. 147 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,680 And it was the beginning of Harold Percy's ministry here. 148 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,680 Okay. 149 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:40,480 And we got acquainted and he found out a bit about my background. 150 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,720 I had been a part of a, on a very large Episcopal church in Pasadena, California. 151 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,800 I was on staff and charge of the children's ministry for 10 years. 152 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,720 And so he wanted to get some things going here. 153 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:03,080 And I started helping with children's ministry, leading that and then organizing some parish 154 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,760 events and decided that I could be hired and be a part of the staff. 155 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,560 So I kind of became the director of programming and parish life. 156 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,720 And I did that for 24 years. 157 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,720 Wow. 158 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,720 Wow. 159 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,760 And my responsibilities were involved in meeting newcomers and helping them get involved 160 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:30,880 in the church and getting assimilated and planning at a parish life committee that planned 161 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,440 events, usually monthly events where we would get together for different social activities 162 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,360 and parties and all kinds of different things to just kind of help people build community 163 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160 and get acquainted with people. 164 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,160 That's great. 165 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,920 And so there were numerous other things involved in that position. 166 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,360 And I also started the ESL program here. 167 00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:05,680 And so I retired 12 years ago and started getting more involved in ESL, teaching the 168 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:15,680 classes and organizing that and leading some community Bible study, which we have hosted 169 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,680 here at Trinity for many years. 170 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,680 The CBS is the best. 171 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,680 The CBS. 172 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,680 That's right. 173 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:30,840 And then, oh, and it was 2017, we had a new pastor come and new staff members. 174 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,040 And we thought it would be a good idea to get our seniors together. 175 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,560 I kind of came to the conclusion, yeah, I guess I am a senior now. 176 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:44,720 And there are other people like me and we knew each other, but we hadn't really had 177 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,560 opportunity to gather together. 178 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:53,680 So I organized an event and we wanted to have an opportunity for the new pastor and staff 179 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:57,920 to get to know each other with the seniors. 180 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,320 And it was so well received. 181 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,320 They decided we ought to keep doing this. 182 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,800 And was that the birth of prime time? 183 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,040 Yeah, it was the birth of prime time. 184 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,160 It took us a couple of years to come up with a name. 185 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,160 I love it. 186 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,160 It's a good name. 187 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,160 That's how we started. 188 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,160 That's amazing. 189 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,160 Thank you, Jay-Ann. 190 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,160 Wonderful. 191 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,160 And what about you, Gary? 192 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:24,000 Well, Ann and I, my wife Ann and I, we have been attending Trinity for a total of 23 years. 193 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,320 Now, we were here for 20 years and then we left RATE and then came back for the last 194 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,320 three. 195 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:37,280 But over those years, I've been involved in a number of different things from table leading 196 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:43,280 at various events and greeting, if you will, the very beginning days. 197 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,960 But early on, I got involved with life groups and I really enjoyed that. 198 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,800 And so I've been leading life groups, perhaps maybe for the better part of the last 28 years 199 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,120 or so, you know, in total, the other churches and with Trinity. 200 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:05,680 And so there were times when Harold might have been without an associate. 201 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:12,000 And so he would ask me to oversee the entire life group ministry, you know, which I did. 202 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,120 And also another part of what I did, I got involved with international outreach. 203 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:26,000 And so back in, I guess around 1999, a long time ago, now I got involved with a number 204 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,200 of people here, including Diane and Dave and Harold and I think also a few other people. 205 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,440 And then we got involved with Honduras. 206 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,520 And so I led teams to Honduras for about seven or eight years. 207 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,840 And I think we finished off with a couple of trips to the Dominican Republic as well, 208 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,040 you know, building homes, usually building homes, right? 209 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,120 You know, so. 210 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,960 And so more recently, I guess today, I'm, I was, say I'm a mentor. 211 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,000 I am part of the Life Group Steering Committee. 212 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,920 So I participate in that. 213 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,560 And I've also been a coach over the years as well for other life group leaders. 214 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:15,440 And after this morning's service, I'll be going downstairs to be a mentor for two of 215 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,080 our camp leaders as well. 216 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,080 Wonderful. 217 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,080 All right. 218 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,080 So busy and active. 219 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,080 Yep. 220 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,080 Very much so. 221 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,080 Love that. 222 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,080 Thank you. 223 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,080 And how about you, Judy? 224 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,600 Well, I don't do nearly or haven't done nearly as much as Diane or Gary. 225 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,640 I've been here for 17 years or so. 226 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,560 And I started out in the nursery a bit and helping a bit with the camp before it got as huge 227 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,360 as it is now. 228 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,360 Nice. 229 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,920 I do belong to a small group, which I really like. 230 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,200 I guess I've only been doing primetime now for a year and a bit or so. 231 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,200 I'm not sure exactly. 232 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,280 And then now I do more on Sunday, either ushering or serving communion or at the prayer flag. 233 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,280 Wow. 234 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,280 Yeah, thank you. 235 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,280 That's great. 236 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,280 That's wonderful. 237 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,840 So maybe just in a moment or two, you could just share with me a sentence about what it 238 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,880 is that you love about this particular church community. 239 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,560 So Judy, how would you say you enjoy the church? 240 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:11,560 What do you enjoy? 241 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:19,440 Well, I enjoy the friendliness of the people and all the different choices there are of 242 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,560 things to do. 243 00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:25,000 There's never a lack of a need for volunteers for things. 244 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000 That's true. 245 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,440 But, and I really like that if I can't come to church, I can watch it either live or see 246 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,680 it later, that that's been a real boost to a lot of people, I think. 247 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:37,680 Yes. 248 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:38,680 That part, that would be my favorite. 249 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:39,680 Absolutely. 250 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:40,680 One of those beautiful things looking for COVID. 251 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:41,680 But I love the Sunday services. 252 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:42,680 Excellent. 253 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:43,680 Thanks, Judy. 254 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:44,680 How about you, Diane? 255 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,680 Is there something that you love about the community here at the church? 256 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,680 Oh, it's the people. 257 00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:49,680 It's the people. 258 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:54,280 Just having gotten acquainted with so many people over the years. 259 00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:01,400 And what really is a delight to me is to see people that started coming about 30 years 260 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:07,360 ago, 30, 20 years ago, whatever, and they're now in leadership and doing all kinds of things. 261 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,760 And she's just really fun to see that. 262 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,560 And I think the spiritual, the teaching has just been continually strong and helping me 263 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:22,680 grow in my faith and all the abilities to use my spiritual gifts. 264 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:23,680 Nice. 265 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:24,680 Thank you. 266 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,680 Thank you. 267 00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,440 And Gary, do you have anything to add there? 268 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,440 Yeah. 269 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,360 I think, years ago, when we first came to Trinity, I would have said it's the preaching 270 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,360 and the music. 271 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,720 That's what really got us in the door and kept us here for all the length of time we've 272 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,720 been here. 273 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:47,240 But answering the question now today, I would say perhaps it's Trinity's diversity of people. 274 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,880 Many different cultures and backgrounds. 275 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,680 And I really appreciate the number of volunteers that will only step up to make this church 276 00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:56,680 run. 277 00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:57,680 Absolutely. 278 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,040 And in many other churches, it's the old 2080 rule, type of thing. 279 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,600 20% of the people do 80% of the work. 280 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,440 That is not the case here at Trinity. 281 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,960 We have a tremendous number of volunteers who have stepped up. 282 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,200 And that resonates with me. 283 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,960 I really appreciate that. 284 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,920 And it challenges me at the same time too, by the way. 285 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:24,040 So I would say to people that we are what you would expect to see and have happen in 286 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,000 a church community here. 287 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Thank you. 288 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Thank you. 289 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320 So we're here really to talk about primetime. 290 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,240 So what is primetime? 291 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,560 We know Gary described who it's for, what types of sort of things you're looking for. 292 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,880 And if it resonates with you, you're welcome to come out. 293 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,320 But how would you describe primetime and what types of things do you do at primetime? 294 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Diane? 295 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,920 Well, we've sort of developed a routine. 296 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:59,120 And we start out with about 15 minutes at a table, discussion, some kind of interactive 297 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,280 game discussion, whatever, so you can get acquainted with the people that you're sitting 298 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,780 with. 299 00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:12,760 And then Gary does an interview with maybe one of our attendees. 300 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,280 It's not sprung on them. 301 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,280 So it's a planned interview? 302 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,280 It works with them. 303 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,600 It's a planned interview. 304 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,200 Or we have someone from the church staff that's involved in some other ministry come and just 305 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,360 talk a bit about it. 306 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,000 So we just got to get acquainted with each other a bit better. 307 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,240 I like that. 308 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,640 And then we do some singing. 309 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:42,200 And we always enjoy having different, usually, Nancy Gwynvon comes and plays piano and her 310 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:47,320 daughter Grace comes and helps lead the singing. 311 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960 But we have had other people come in and do some singing with us. 312 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,560 It's usually old time hymns. 313 00:15:53,560 --> 00:16:00,120 And then after that, we break and have a huge buffet of refreshments that people have brought 314 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,520 to share. 315 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,920 And we have refreshment time together. 316 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:09,560 And then we have our special speaker or special activity for the rest of the time. 317 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,800 And we close with like a five minute biblical reflection that Paul Fowler does for us very 318 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,080 brilliantly and it always kind of brings the whole afternoon together. 319 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,320 That sounds so nice. 320 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,720 I'm learning actually right now from you about this. 321 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,240 And I love the structure, but I also love the diversity that you include in there and 322 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,040 the community building that follows this definitely seems very well planned out. 323 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360 And it sounds very interesting. 324 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,880 And I'm sure that since you've had many of these meetings, you all have some good memories 325 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,240 or maybe some good memories. 326 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,640 So maybe starting with Gary, could you share with us maybe a story or a memory that you 327 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,280 have from a past prime time? 328 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:55,040 In the two years that I've been part of prime time, the one memory that stands out for me 329 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,480 is was one of our guests. 330 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,720 His name was Dr. Ken Schonk. 331 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,960 And Dr. Schonk came out to talk to us about the importance of laughter and humor in our 332 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,360 lives. 333 00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:16,040 And his talk, he brought into his talk a lot of science and statistical information around 334 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,800 the importance of it. 335 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,440 And he had a slideshow as well and presentation. 336 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:29,040 I would say in the hour long presentation he gave, everybody was chuckling, smiling and 337 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,040 laughing. 338 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440 It was a lot of fun. 339 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,640 And I would say that particular event was super charged fun. 340 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,640 OK. 341 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,640 Yeah. 342 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,640 Wow. 343 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,640 Really good. 344 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,640 OK. 345 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,640 Excellent. 346 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,640 And what about you, Judy? 347 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,640 Do you have any memories? 348 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,640 There have been a couple. 349 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,920 The one was a female police officer. 350 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:54,680 And she came to talk to us about so many scams that have been around for a long time, especially 351 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,320 one's targeting seniors. 352 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,000 And Gary reminded us the other day that one of the thing or two of the things she said 353 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:09,640 not to carry in your wallet was your SIM card and your birth certificate, which I've never 354 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,640 carried my SIM card, but I always carry my birth certificate or a copy. 355 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760 So it's good to learn these things. 356 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,360 And the other favorite, because we have him every year, is of course Paul Henderson talking 357 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:26,520 about his life and career, but especially about his walk with God and his love for God 358 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,040 and total dependency and thankfulness on what Jesus has done for us. 359 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,480 So that's probably our biggest draw. 360 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,480 OK. 361 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,480 That's him. 362 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,480 I love that. 363 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,040 But all three of those examples and speakers are all so diverse, so different, but all equally 364 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,040 interesting. 365 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,040 I like that. 366 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,800 And Diane, what about you? 367 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:51,200 One of the strong memories I have is one of the interviews Gary did with Rita Gunston. 368 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,080 And she was as one of our participants and just hearing a bit about her life. 369 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,440 And she's so delightful and funny, and that was just fun to get to know her. 370 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,440 Just get to know her. 371 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,440 Right. 372 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,560 Someone that you can see every week and then get to know them. 373 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:14,320 And past years, we had a Gab and Games event, and we broke up into different tables of different 374 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,960 games that were available and just played games together. 375 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,960 Well, that's fun. 376 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:18,960 That's great. 377 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,960 I would like that. 378 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,960 That was fun. 379 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,960 That's good. 380 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,920 So how are each of you specifically involved in primetime? 381 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,480 Do you have a leadership role? 382 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,680 Are you just a participant? 383 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,680 What's your roles, Diane? 384 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:38,880 I sort of function as the coordinator to kind of bring together, lead the planning group 385 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:47,560 and we meet together by Zoom once a month or at least the month before our event. 386 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,960 And we do planning and I work out an agenda. 387 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:56,440 And then Gary and I kind of co-lead when we gather together. 388 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,440 Nice. 389 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,440 All right. 390 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,440 And both of you, Gary. 391 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,800 Well, I guess I'm the one who hosts those Zoom meetings that we have. 392 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:11,160 And as Diane had mentioned earlier, during each of our events, we're trying to interview 393 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,600 one of our participants. 394 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,040 And so I have the pleasure of interviewing those people for either 10 to 15 minutes. 395 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,440 And people have been here for like 20 years or more that I'm interviewing. 396 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,240 And most people in the audience, they're hearing things they'd never heard before. 397 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,920 So it's really good part of our event and what I'm involved with as well. 398 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,600 I'm also the co-editor of a primetime newsletter that we just launched a number of few months 399 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,600 ago. 400 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,600 Okay. 401 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,600 A few months ago. 402 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000 And Suresh Jacob, by the way, is the other co-editor. 403 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,520 He's brilliant. 404 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,200 He can make me look good. 405 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,920 So he's really good. 406 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,560 And so we launched that earlier this year. 407 00:20:53,560 --> 00:21:00,440 And I think that basically, as Diane said, I will help her out in terms of maybe the 408 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,320 agenda while being upfront in front of the microphone as well for that. 409 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:11,000 So I would say that's perhaps maybe some of the duties that I have, if you will. 410 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,760 And together, we represent a think tank. 411 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,120 So when we get together on Zoom, we're thinking about how it's going to go, you know, type 412 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:23,080 of thing and who we should be maybe looking at next to invite out. 413 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,720 Because so we put a lot of thought into that, knowing who our audience is, you know, as 414 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,720 well. 415 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,720 Thank you. 416 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,720 And Judy. 417 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,680 Well, oddly enough, I'm the one in the kitchen, but I'm the person who is least likely to 418 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,320 be in the kitchen at home. 419 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,200 But since I don't have to cook, it's fine. 420 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,200 Right. 421 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:48,920 So usually there's some other volunteers and they come and make a lot of coffee and tea. 422 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,200 And we put out the tables in the hall for people to self serve. 423 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,600 So that's a lot of coffee and tea and water and coffee cups. 424 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:03,040 And then we usually have about two tables of snacks that people have that we have snack 425 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,720 time after a while. 426 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,480 And those tables are just full of goodies that people bring. 427 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,440 And quite often there's enough that people get to take some home in snack bags. 428 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,840 So it works for both of us. 429 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,840 Because you get this sort of. 430 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,840 Yeah. 431 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,840 And then there's a cleanup at the end. 432 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,040 So I'm always looking around for helpers. 433 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,160 But usually people will show up even at the last minute. 434 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,960 I know like Diane's got to buy a lot of strawberries this week. 435 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:38,360 And so all of us will probably be cleaning strawberries as well as other things on Thursday. 436 00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:39,360 Oh, that's fine. 437 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:41,360 We're going to talk about that in just a little bit. 438 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,640 Oh, I can imagine actually. 439 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,000 So what's the value? 440 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,400 Maybe Gary, you could answer this in a group such as Primetime that a church having this 441 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,960 type of ministry value. 442 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Do you see? 443 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,040 Well, you know, I think it's all about keeping the community connected. 444 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,240 And in fact, that is our tagline. 445 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,760 We use that on all of our communication, keeping the community connected. 446 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,040 And it's the Primetime community I'm referring to, of course. 447 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Primetime is also known for its outreach as well. 448 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,760 We have many of our members who will bring occasionally friends with them. 449 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,920 Some of these friends have never been in a church before. 450 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,760 Others have belonged to another church, but may not have something like what we're offering 451 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,760 here at Trinity. 452 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,680 You know, so I think it's a bit of an outreach for us as well. 453 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,720 And you know, the other thing is this, Trinity is an intergenerational church with programs 454 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,800 and events for everyone. 455 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,560 Many of our Primetime members helped build the church we're in today. 456 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,360 And so Primetime is a way of saying to them, you're not forgotten. 457 00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,680 We love you. 458 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,840 And now let's have some fun together. 459 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,840 Great. 460 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,680 And by the way, if anyone doesn't have any transportation to come out, call the church. 461 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,720 We'll get transportation for them. 462 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,720 That is very helpful. 463 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,720 Very nice. 464 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,720 Wonderful. 465 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,080 So maybe your maybe hopes for this ministry going forward, Gary? 466 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:14,360 Well, obviously going forward, we're averaging around maybe 70, 75 or so each time we have 467 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,360 an event. 468 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,000 And I think going forward, I'd like to see that number maybe get to at least 100. 469 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000 Wow. 470 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,400 I think we can do that quite frankly. 471 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,400 Yeah. 472 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,320 Now that we're kind of gearing up this past year, I think we've got some things in place. 473 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,400 But over the next year or two, I think we will reach an average of at least 100 people, 474 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,240 you know, type of thing. 475 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,760 And our hope is always to bring in interesting speakers and entertainment guests as well, 476 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,560 that we know that our primetime members will really enjoy, you know, and say, am I ever 477 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,560 glad I came out today? 478 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,560 Right. 479 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,560 Something that's worthwhile. 480 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,560 That's right. 481 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,240 We're also looking to expand our primetime newsletter, by the way. 482 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,000 And so we're looking for always for new information and say, we just started about maybe four 483 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,160 issues ago. 484 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,220 And so we're looking for other ideas for content and what have you. 485 00:25:01,220 --> 00:25:08,200 One idea that I came up with recently was to maybe start something called, where are 486 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,200 they now? 487 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200 In other words, we have a lot of parishioners who have maybe just left the church. 488 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,680 They moved away or something has happened that they're no longer here. 489 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:24,080 And so I thought to myself, we get into conversation, founded times saying, whatever happened is 490 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,080 so and so. 491 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Right. 492 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,400 And you know, so I thought, I have a number of people in my mind right now who I'm going 493 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,560 to be calling and researching and finding out what's going on in their lives. 494 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,000 Because I think other parishioners that are here today would like to know that. 495 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000 I love that. 496 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000 And we're going to keep that in our mind. 497 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,520 A bunch of names just came to my mind. 498 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,520 Oh, good. 499 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Absolutely. 500 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,480 What a great idea. 501 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,840 So let's talk a little bit in the five minutes that we have about this upcoming event that 502 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,440 is this Thursday. 503 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,840 And this is Strawberry Social. 504 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,720 Maybe in the background, we can just have any photos that we have from last year from 505 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,480 the Strawberry Social. 506 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,280 I'm not sure how much of these photos are going to show really the whole idea, but you 507 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,320 can definitely see there's a big crowd there. 508 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,320 Diane, what can we expect this Thursday? 509 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:17,680 Well, we're going to have a time to gather around the tables with our friends and meeting 510 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,680 new people. 511 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,240 And we're going to have an interview with one of our participants. 512 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,240 Okay. 513 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,360 And we're going to have a strawberry shortcake. 514 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:29,360 Okay. 515 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:34,240 So you can put out to the table and each have your own can of whipping cream. 516 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,240 Okay. 517 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,760 And you can put as much on as you want. 518 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,760 No judgment. 519 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:45,240 But the big, big event really is having Matt Zaddy and Heather Christine. 520 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,880 This will be their third time coming to entertain us. 521 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,880 Wonderful. 522 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,160 And they are just superb entertainers. 523 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,480 And it's just delightful to have them. 524 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:03,320 And we sing along some old songs and new songs and they entertain and that will be really 525 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,320 special. 526 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Oh, that will be. 527 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:11,800 They're being sponsored by the Credit River Retirement Community, which is over on Off 528 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,800 Tannery. 529 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,800 Right. 530 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,040 And this is the second time they've sponsored us. 531 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,960 We've had them come for Christmas last year. 532 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,960 Okay. 533 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,560 We did a Christmas thing with them last year. 534 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:23,560 All right. 535 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,640 So they're just really special. 536 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,240 And we think we're going to have a big enough turnout. 537 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240 We're going to have our first hour in Parrish Hall. 538 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,640 And then we're going to go over to the sanctuary to have our entertainment and singing. 539 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,640 Oh, that will be fun. 540 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,640 So that'll be a little different. 541 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,640 Yeah, it will be. 542 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,640 Good. 543 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,640 That's great. 544 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,640 Anything to add to that? 545 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,640 Gee. 546 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,640 I don't know. 547 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,640 I don't know. 548 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,640 That sounds pretty awesome to me. 549 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,640 You took a lot of my notes. 550 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,640 I know. 551 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,640 I have Mary down here on my notes, everyone. 552 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,640 I'm supposed to prompt him next. 553 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,160 No, you know what? 554 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,080 I would have spoken about the entertainment as well, because I think Matt Zaddy and his 555 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,280 wife Heather Christine, those are their stage names. 556 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,320 They are, this is their full-time career, by the way. 557 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,720 This is not just occasional stuff for them. 558 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,960 And they are really good. 559 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,240 They've made their mark on the Canadian music scene for the last few years. 560 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,240 Their songwriters, I know with Heather's music, she's played with some well-known 561 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,160 jazz bands as well. 562 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,960 And her music has heard on a number of radio stations. 563 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,480 In fact, I heard recently, even as far away as Spain, her music. 564 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,160 They're playing it on the radio there. 565 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,160 That's right, exactly. 566 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,160 That's great. 567 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,160 Yeah. 568 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,160 So they're really good. 569 00:28:38,160
