This Sunday -

Last Sunday, we kicked off our series in the book of Acts, noticing that it is the ‘the Acts of Jesus through His Holy Spirit’ (and not so much the Acts of the Apostles!)

We were reminded that the early church were ‘hopelessly’ weak and yet also unstoppable, because the proofs, the plan and the power all belonged to God. This week the themes of confidence and commitment continue, as we move into the second half of chapter 1. We pray that it will encourage and excite us all about God’s Kingdom.

Refreshments will be served both before and after the service, our Sunday groups for young people resume and a livestream will be broadcast.

Tonight!

Join us tonight, for our St Kea fellowship evening. To tie in with our new series in Acts we will have a global focus, with updates from mission partners and also from areas of ministry across Trinity. There will be opportunity to pray in different ways, not just in groups together. It will offer a chance to humble ourselves before God in prayer and to praise God in song. Refreshments from 7pm, programme starts at 7.30pm.

Women’s Breakfast - This Saturday

There is still time to sign up to the Trinity Women’s breakfast that is happening this Saturday 20th May. A delicious breakfast is served from 8.30 and our speaker this month is Erica Payne.

All dietary requirements can be catered for, make a note on the sign up form.

Eat Together- This Sunday

This week is ‘Eat together Sunday’. It is a great time to share fellowship together and meet new people in our church. Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to join and haven’t yet signed up, we’d love as many people as possible to join in. As part of this we will host a Newcomer’s lunch in the church hall.

Invitational youth event

Over the past few weeks we have been inviting people to this event next Tuesday for current (school) yr 5 - 9’s. If you know of any young people who might like to join us then please do encourage them to sign up using the link above. We will run a similar invitational event again after half term in one of our Tuesday evening slots. We’d value your prayers as we seek to engage with young people in this age bracket across Truro and beyond.

Next Sunday - Joint Service

On Sunday 28th May St Kea will be hosting a united service for St Kea and Christ Church congregations to celebrate the day of Pentecost together.

The service will begin at 10.30am with refreshments before and after the service.

Bold I approach - The How and Why of Prayer

Join us at St John’s Truro for a 4-week course on prayer, where we explore how prayer works, why it matters and some practical tips. We will be working through a bible study handbook, spending time together in groups and seeking to grow in our own prayer lives. We will be meeting Thursdays 7-8pm (25 May-16 June) with refreshments. This is a Trinity-wide event and all are welcome.

Trinity Church evening - 28th June

Once a term all of the congregations across Trinity are invited to gather together for updates, encouragements, prayer and singing. Drinks and puddings from 7pm, the meeting itself starts at 7.30pm. It will be a chance for the whole church to find out how the On the Way plans are progressing and to ask questions. We will be holding a short service of reflection and prayer towards the end of the evening and aim to be finished by 8.30pm.

Kea Summer Fete

Kea Summer Fete is on Saturday 17th June 12-3pm at Kea School and as always Kea Church will be running the cake and refreshments stall as well as the toy/book stall.

We would really love some volunteers to help with refreshments on the day. No special skills are required, just a willingness to chat and be friendly! If this is something you can do please get in touch with Sian Goddard (details on Church Suite)

We also need some cakes and traybakes for the stall, so if you or someone you know loves baking and could provide us with some delicious bakes please can you drop them off in the church hall from Friday 16th June or bring them on the day.

There will also be a book and toy stall at the event so if you have any good quality items that could be sold here please drop them off at the Church Hall leading up to the event.

The fete is a wonderful opportunity to be part of the local community and to engage with the school parents. Some of the money raised at the event is donated towards our mission partners so please do come along and support this fantastic event.

Weekly Prayer Points

1. This week we pray for Bangladesh and Myanmar as they recover from the devastation of Cyclone Mocha. We pray that the ‘Father of mercies and God of all comfort’ would minister to believers and they would be able to pass that comfort onto others amidst the grief and struggle (2 Cor 1). We pray for the provision of practical and emotinal support and all those involved in this.

2. We also give thanks for Christ Church, for God’s continued faithfulness and provision, for all the volunteers who serve there and for the way He continues to build His church. We pray for them to be empowered for mission, in the power of the Spirit.

3. Please continue to pray for the work of Mercy Rescue Trust who are thankful for a new link with Purposefully Made Ministries (helping with therapy for four infants) but who have continued financial needs for and adapted toilet in one of the homes and regular hospital bills for babies. Please pray that the love and hope of Christ shines through the whole organisation.
