Over the next three weeks we have various exam results being released across the UK. 

The results for Nationals, Highers and Advanced Highers – as well as the more vocational National Progression Awards, Skills for Work Awards, and National Certificates in Scotland – are released by the Scottish Qualifications Agency on 4 August.   In England, Wales, and the Crown Dependencies A, AS, and T Levels are released on 13 August whilst GCSE and various vocational qualifications are released on 20 August. 

These days are approached with trepidation and produce both profound joy and disappointment.  We keep all our young, and not so young, in our prayers during this season of results.  

The URC offers this prayer, for private and public use, as results are received, understood, digested and as future plans are made.

O God of every good gift,
calm anxious minds,
help all who are longing for,
and all who are dreading,
the coming results:
that they may find peace
and an ability to trust in you for all that follows.
In Your loving kindness help all those waiting
to find resilience where there is disappointment,
and joy when dreams have been fulfilled.
We thank You for teachers, lecturers, and for students’ hard work.
As next steps are discerned,
remind us all that our worth is not found in certificates
but in Your great love for us. Amen.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
    Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my supplications!

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
    so that you may be revered.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
    more than those who watch for the morning,
    more than those who watch for the morning.

On Tuesday evening, around 100 people watched “The People’s Emergency Briefing” at Trinity and joined in a discussion afterwards.  It was a challenging and thought-provoking watch, and gave many insights into the threats posed to each one of us individually and to our world.

The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.  If you missed this opportunity to view the film you are encouraged to find a local screening NOW.   Follow the link to National Emergency Briefing, then click on National Screening Map where you will find local screenings.

“We are the first generation to see the effects of climate change and the last that can do anything about it. The People’s Emergency Briefing is a wake-up call for all of us. The threat posed by climate change and loss of biodiversity dwarfs that of other crises, and the public need to be informed, so that together we can turn the situation around.”
Rt Revd Graham Usher, lead CoE Bishop for the Environment

Join us on Sunday at 11:00 when the Revd Dr Jacob Bali (Minister) will lead us in worship.  

Our Chinese Group and the Junior Church will leave after the second hymn for their own time of worship and activities in other parts of our building.

Following the Service there will be a Church Meeting for all Trinity members and friends.  If you have signed up to ChurchSuite you should have received a calling letter from the Minister about the meeting, an agenda, and minutes of the last Church Meeting, held on 31 May.  

All church members should have received an invitation to register for ChurchSuite.  If you have not yet signed up please take this opportunity to do so.  This will enable us to keep in touch with you.

As always, voting on any formal business is reserved for church members, but all friends of Trinity are very welcome to attend and take part in the discussion.

Please stay for the meeting.  Lunch coffee and tea will be available.

Congratulations to Chan Yik Yuen who was baptised by the Revd Ernest Yu during our service this morning.  Mr Chan was also received into membership of the congregation of Trinity United Reformed Church, and warmly welcomed by the Ministers and Church Secretary on behalf of the congregation.

The photo was taken after the service with Mr Chan’s family, members of the Chinese Group at Trinity, and Revd Ernest Yu and Revd Dr Jacob Bali.
