TRINITY URC METHODIST CHURCH NOTICES
19 January 2025
Service at 10:30 led by
Ian Kitchin
Also this Sunday the 19th of January we will be holding our
‘TRINITY PRAISE’ Service at 4.00pm led by Rev Mark.
This will be a special circuit service at Trinity to give thanks to God
for our Local Preachers and Worship Leaders.
The ‘Bring and Share Meal’ has been postponed because of the removal of the hall floor with the difficulties in serving food.
This service will take place in our worship area and downstairs in the Orchard room because of the removal of the Hall floor.
Next Sunday the 26th of January Rev Mark will lead our special Safeguarding service.
The Worship Area Flowers for January are arranged by Lesley Ansell. The flowers for Sunday the 19th are donated by Lilian Hargreaves.
The flowers for Sunday the 26th are donated by Janet Kerr.
All at Trinity thank the arrangers and the donaters of flowers for our Worship area this really enhances our act of worship and raises everyone’s moods.
I have added a link below to the North West England Methodist District website:
News | North West England District and who should I find but Sarah and Rev Mark’s Santa Dash among all the ideas and efforts going on in our new region, give it a try, you’ll not be disappointed, and we can glean some ideas from our fellow Churches that we could use at Trinity. Happy Hunting!

A Thought For this Sunday
May we, as your people, be filled with your kingdom joy, and may it overflow from us to those around us. Inspire and equip us to share your good news – in word and in action - with those we meet this week.
We now lift up to you, others we know who need your joy in the midst of suffering, sickness and despair.
We pray too for situations around our world where your healing and hope are so desperately needed. Bring your transformation we pray, Lord Jesus,
· to the injustice of our world
· to our politics and to those in positions of power
· to those facing violence, modern day slavery, oppression and persecution
May we, as your transformed people, be your agents of change: blessed to be a blessing, for the sake of your kingdom and glory. Amen The Revd Matt Stone
