Of course, however we are aware that visiting a church for the first time can be a nervous experience. (we've all sat in somebody else's seat over the years!!). Even experienced churchgoers can find it difficult going to a different church on a Sunday.
If you choose to visit Trinity on a Sunday morning for our 10.30 service, here's what you can expect. When you step up to the doorway there will be somebody there with a friendly face to greet you with a warm 'Good Morning' They'll hand you our weekly printed notices and any books you might need for the service. We have a greeter that meets you as you enter the hall, these people are really friendly (no, honestly!!). You can ask them any questions you may have and they will do their utmost to answer them, they'll show you to the Church if needed and perhaps give advice on where to sit.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE SERVICES?
Most Sunday mornings there will be around 60 people present, there will be Hymns, prayers, bible readings and a sermon. The service will last about an hour, don't worry about what to do, just follow the people around you to know when to stand or sit. We don't kneel for prayers. Normally after the second hymn, the children leave to go to TYC (Trinity Young Christians) and those under three can go to the creche.
On the first Sunday of the month we have an all age worship, where the children, who normally leave us after the second hymn stay in for the whole service, the music is supplied by our own Trinity Sound. The service is normally a bit more lively than our regular services.
The third Sunday of the month is normally our Communion Service, that's the service at which the bread and wine is shared. At Trinity everyone is welcome to share in that.
AFTER THE SERVICE?
You may have noticed when you came in the tables and chairs in the side hall, after the service tea and coffee is served, everyone's welcome and we hope you'll stay. We want visitors to feel welcome but we know it's easy to get it wrong when too many people want to know who you are and why you're here but we feel that is more important than ignoring you completely. Please don't be embarrassed, if we get it wrong, please tell us.
THE CHURCH STEWARDS
If you have any questions about the Church ask one of our Church Stewards, they should be easily recognisable by the badges that they wear and will always be pleased to assist you in any way.
If you have any questions that you would like answered before you visit Trinity email the Web Editor who will do his best to assist you.
