Our next Church Meeting on Sunday 19 July 2026, will take place in the Old Hall following the morning service. Lunch will be provided.
This meeting is an important moment in our shared life at Trinity URC as we continue our prayerful discernment about our mission, our welcome, and the shape of our ministry for the years ahead. We will reflect together on the themes of being rooted in Christ, growing in faith, and sharing and serving in love, and we will gather the insights offered through recent conversations across the congregation.
All members and friends are encouraged to attend. Your presence, your wisdom, and your reflections are a vital part of our life together as we seek to listen for God’s call.
“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

The People’s Emergency Briefing will be screened at Trinity on Tuesday 14 July at 7.30pm. Refreshments will be served from 7pm.
The film, The People’s Emergency Briefing, will be followed by a facilitated and friendly discussion on the implications and opportunities for us locally.

Plastic Free July is already off to a fantastic start. On 1July, over 4,000 people made a Pledge and set a world record for people refusing single-use plastic.
Pledges came in from all around, including schools in the United Arab Emirates, offices in London, politicians in Australia, and community groups in New Zealand. People pledged to remember their reusable bags and utensils, purchase unpackaged produce, bulk buy cleaning products, switch teabags for loose leaf, and more – all in the name of making small changes that add up to a huge impact on plastic waste.

Congratulations to our Church Administrator, Elizabeth, who has recently qualified as “Carbon Literate”.
To be carbon literate means having the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand how everyday activities contribute to climate change and knowing what practical actions can reduce those impacts.
There are formal training programs, such as those offered by the The Carbon Literacy Project, that certify individuals as “Carbon Literate.”
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday at 11:00 when our worship will be led by the Revd Dr Jacob Bali (Minister). We will celebrate the baptism of one of our congregation during the service.
