It has been announced this week that The Men of the Dales Weekend is now confirmed at the end of March. See Barry for details or go directly to the web site for details: Men of the Dales
Change of name We have been running Kid’s Church downstairs for a quite a few months now and as the worship has developed a name change has been agreed to call it Family Church Of course the whole church is a family but Sunday mornings downstairs is a great place to bring yourself and young and not so young children to. This is a great service to bring new families to as well.
Help Needed
Little Fishes is becoming a great way of connecting with new families (to Trinity) but to do this successfully help is needed. If you are free on some Monday mornings (you don’t need to commit to every week) please speak to Sandra.
Refreshments at Sunday Services. We hope to be resuming refreshments at our 9 am and 10.30 am Sunday Services in March. We are looking at ways of making this easier for people serving and people partaking too. We will send out a separate communication about this very soon. Please keep an eye out for this.
Shrove Tuesday The Outreach Group have started planning a full day of events on 1 March. There will be a number of activities you might like to attend and or help at. Full details will be circulated soon – but please keep this day free in your diary.
