What will happen on a Sunday?

Trin­ity North East wel­comes any­one to our Sun­day gath­er­ings, start­ing Feb­ru­ary 21, 2010 at 10am.   Whether you’re vis­it­ing from another church, pass­ing through town, invited along by a friend or curi­ous about the Bible and the Chris­t­ian faith, you’re more than wel­come to join us!  If you visit Trin­ity North East for a Sun­day Ser­vice, you’ll be greeted at the door by one of the wel­come team.  They’ll intro­duce them­selves and offer to show you to a seat.  If you have chil­dren with you, one of the wel­come team will explain the kids pro­grams that are on offer and intro­duce you to a kids min­istry leader or helper.

Dur­ing the service:

There will be some singing (the words will be on the screen at the front so you can join in).

Someone will read a sec­tion of the Bible (you’ll be able to fol­low the pas­sage on the screen).

One of our min­is­ters, usu­ally James Har­ricks, will speak for about 25 min­utes, explain­ing the Bible pas­sage that was read.  Nor­mally this part, the ser­mon, will be on a suc­ces­sive sec­tions of a par­tic­u­lar book of the Bible each week, although we will also address top­ics like “suf­fer­ing” or “If I were God I’d …”

One of the church mem­bers will pray out loud, on behalf of every­one, for cur­rent issues in the world, for the church and for peo­ple in the com­mu­nity.

 There will be a time of shar­ing some of our upcom­ing events.

There will also be an oppor­tu­nity to fill in a ‘Com­mu­ni­ca­tion card’.   This is so we can give you some more infor­ma­tion about Trin­ity North East or answer any ques­tions you might have.  We take your pri­vacy very seri­ously and don’t pass on per­sonal infor­ma­tion to any other organ­i­sa­tion. Once a month, usu­ally the first Sun­day in a month, we share in the Lords Sup­per. This is where Chris­tians eat bread and drink wine or grape juice to remem­ber Jesus’ death in our place, to for­give our rebel­lion against God.  If you feel uncom­fort­able or you’re not a Chris­t­ian, there is no com­pul­sion to take part in this bit of the service.

After the service:

Par­ents will pick up their chil­dren from their teach­ing pro­grams in the rooms nearby.

Everyone is invited to stay for tea & cof­fee and an oppor­tu­nity to meet peo­ple and dis­cuss ques­tions you may have from what was said and done.
