This is the title of our new review which will run during June.  It is vital for the future life and work of Trinity to ensure that we have people willing and able to use their skills and talents.

Every member should receive a letter from the Minister explaining the project, and a questionnaire to complete.

Please do give this survey your considered and prayerful attention and return it by Sunday 28 June.  If you have any questions please speak with one of the Joint Church Secretaries, Sam or Catherine.

The Wednesday Group will meet on 3 June at 2.30pm in the Mansel Road Centre. Miriam Grant will be entertaining us with a fun afternoon of piano solos from the light musical era and some toe tapping reels and jigs on the violin. Miriam is always a very popular guest and everyone is welcome to come along and join us.
A strawberry and cream afternoon tea will follow.

Through our annual ‘Gift Day’ we support the work of the Barnabas Trust whose main ministry is to provide practical aid for the persecuted Church.  The Trust sends financial support to projects which help Christians where they suffer discrimination, oppression and persecution as a consequence of their faith – currently in 41 countries, and urgently in Syria, Iraq, Burundi, India, Libya.

It also seeks to encourage and facilitate prayer by providing prayer information, prayer requests and resources.  These can be seen here.

A bi-monthly prayer diary helps you to remember the needs of the persecuted church each day.

The June edition, which will be delivered to a doorstep or electronic device near you in time for Sunday 31 May, includes the especially-extended, six-page edition of DIGEST with Mission Council news, and a report from the Revd David Grosch-Miller of his time with the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan.

The June edition also features a page-long report from the earthquake zone in Nepal; friends and family of the magazine recommend summer reads that could impact your life for the better, and what’s more, we give you four perspectives on the question: “What happens when I die?”

In case you missed it, Reform’s May edition featured an article from Bryn Rickards, a final-year student at Westminster College, sharing his extensive research into what makes a good sermon.

Today we received, and warmly welcomed, two new members of Trinity, Marie-Françoise and Gareth.
