The Women’s Book Club will be meeting at 1pm on Friday 16 October at Elys’ 3rd floor restaurant. We will be discussing our current book, “A God in Ruins” by Kate Atkinson. All are welcome, for more details please see Pam Rostron.
Thirty Trinity elders spent an enjoyable and thought-provoking time together on 3 October at their annual conference. The title “All about Worship” ranged widely over the areas of shape and content of worship, the layout and ambiance of a worship area, multi-sensory worship, worship and pastoral care, and worship and evangelism. Finally we thought more specifically of worship at Trinity. The sessions “provided food for thought”, “worthwhile and interesting discussion”. Several elders commented that we could have spent longer – always a sign of a successful conference!
“All About Worship” – our annual Elders’ conference takes place on Saturday.
To be held at Wimbledon Methodist Church, 1 Griffiths Road, SW19 1SP
Coffee will be available from 09:45, and the conference begins at 10:00. Bring a packed lunch.
