This Sunday

This Sunday is the first Sunday in our new series - In Christ. Over the next few weeks we are going to look at three chapters in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. We are going to see that if we are in Jesus, we have MORE than we could ever imagine.

This week the journey begins as we think about all that Jesus gives us in rescuing us. What difference does it make to know what we are deeply loved? What impact does it have if we know we have been given life? What are the eternal consequences of Gods kindness to us? Come and explore these mind blowing truths as we see both how they change out lives now and in eternity.

Garden party thanks

Thank you to those of you who came along to last Sunday’s Vicarage garden party. The weather was amazing, the food was delicious and the entertainment sounded wonderful. A huge thanks to everyone who helped make the day happen, particularly the gardening team, Ben and Sian Goddard on set up and Sue, Sian and Neil for all the organisation of catering. Without volunteers these events could not happen so we really appreciate all you have done.

This Thursday - 7th September

Every member of both Kea and Christchurch are invited to the launch of the new small group series for this year called Enable. The evening will start at Kea Church at 7.30pm with refreshments served from 7pm. If you are not currently in a small groups or would like to know more, please do come along as well.

God wants to do something very special in the lives of all his children. He wants to do more than we might possibly think of asking him, more than we might even imagine. This academic year He longs that Christ might dwell in us more fully and transform us more completely. If we were to allow this to happen it would change very much about our lives - from the day to day practical aspects of life, to our relationships with others, our life together, our fears and our concerns, our hope and our joy - they would all be transformed. God is longing to bring about this change starting now, the key question is how can this possibly happen? Seeing this change in our lives is what ENABLE is all about.

Tomorrow we will start to introduce the journey ahead - we will see what this change actually looks like in practice and we will start to see how this change can be enabled in us. During the evening Marc (Oversight Minister for all of Trinity Church) will be introducing the series, showing us the steps we are going to take as well as answering questions. The evening will finish before 9pm. We would love you to come and join us as we begin this journey as a church together.

If you are not part of a small group and would like to find out more do get in touch with Debs in the office at debras@trinitytruro.org.uk

Weekly Prayer Points

Each week there will be a few things for our church life and church family that we can join together in praying for:

1. This week we thank God for our friends at St Kea Church and pray for them as they think about the new theme for the year- MORE.

2. This week let us pray for the work of Tear Fund. Please pray for provision of nourishing food and clean water for those in need. For healing to those who are suffering from malnutrition and hunger. Pray that they will feel God’s love and comfort surrounding them and that there will be no long-term side effects or medical conditions due to hunger.

3. Finally let us pray for our local community and for all people in their daily life and work. We pray for the young and the elderly, for families, and all who are alone. We give thanks for the gift of your word, and the fellowship of your people.
