Church in Abingdon

Trinity Church Abingdon

Serving God, serving each other, serving community.

Groups

Elders

Serving Elders exercise regular pastoral care over all members and friends who attend Trinity. Each Elder has a pastoral group which he or she may visit and through these visits the Senior Elder and Interim Moderator can be alerted to any special need which may require further action.

Evergreens

Members gather on the third Monday afternoon of each month in the Conduit Centre hall for a varied programme of speakers and entertainment. Refreshments are served. Some members attend Trinity for Sunday worship but most come from a wide area of the town so that this is an important part of the church’s outreach in the community. (During the course of 2022, Evergreens has been able to arrange transport by taxi to and from the Club when and where it was needed for members, thanks to the generosity of a grant from the Oxfordshire Community Foundation. Transport by taxi will also continue to be available through 2023 and beyond.)

Friendship Group

A group of ladies who meet once a month, for friendship and support. They have lots of fun, and all are welcome.

Home Group

Trinity members and friends are now taking part in a Home Group which meets for a short series of Bible-based discussion around issues relating to a particular theme.

Prayer Support Group

Some members meet virtually on Friday Morning to support the church and individual in prayers.

Stewards

Church Stewards are in attendance at Services to organise the proceedings. One Steward is there for welcoming and attending on the preacher before and after the service. A second Steward welcomes and attends to the congregation. The role of Steward has grown from the Methodist tradition.

Thursday Group

Held on the second Thursday of the month and starts at 7.30. This is a monthly meeting on Thursday for ladies which is well supported and enjoys a varied programme of talks, visits and craft work, and occasional parties. The group also organises the two Church Fairs which provide very important funds for specific causes. Meetings are either in the Conduit Centre, members’ houses or other venues.
