A Choir RehearsalThe Church Choir

Practices are held on Friday evenings in the church from 7.00pm to 8.15pm when the choir rehearses the hymns, introit and anthem to be sung the following Sunday morning, and prepares other music. Special music is prepared for such festivals as Easter, Harvest and Christmas when the choir is sometimes augmented beyond its 20 current members. New singers will be warmly welcomed in all voices to help maintain this important regular commitment towards the quality of worship at Trinity.

Home Groups

A large number of Trinity members and friends are now taking part in Home Groups which meet for a short series of 3 or 4 monthly meetings for Bible-based discussion around issues relating to a particular theme. There are some 8 groups meeting in various homes, day-time and evening, and the average size of a group is 8 to 10 people. These home groups started in 2001 in response to the 'Our Calling' exercise and are now established as a permanent feature of Trinity's spiritual life, helping people to share their faith and draw closer together in fellowship.

Thursday Group

A monthly meeting on Thursday evenings for ladies which is well supported and enjoys a varied programme of talks, visits and craft work, and occasional parties. The group also organises the two Church Fairs which provide very important funds for specific causes. Meetings are either in the Conduit Centre, members' houses or other venues.

The Evergreen ClubEvergreen Club

Some sixty members gather on the first Monday afternoon of each month in the Conduit Centre hall for a varied programme of speakers and entertainment. Refreshments are served and transport to and from home can be provided. About one third of the club members attend Trinity for Sunday worship and the remainder come from a wide area of the town so that this is an important part of the church's outreach in the community.

The Worship Group

A small group of singers and musicians who meet regularly in the church to sing a wide range of hymns and worship songs. The group also takes part in worship reasonably frequently, particularly in communion.
