Hello and welcome
to the Trinity Methodist Church website.
The Circuit Church buildings closed for a few months - although other worship and fellowship options have been available, in accordance with guidance received from the government and the Methodist Church.
We celebrated Harvest across the circuit last Sunday morning (4th Oct) – not quite in the way that we would normally,
but please do remember all the wonderful gifts we have. You might want to put up a small harvest display of your own.
As a circuit we are thinking about the work of “All We Can” which is helping to buy bicycles for children and families to help them out of poverty.
I hope that you will be able to make a donation towards the work of All We Can. The link for online giving is

This is the letter which describes how it will all work - please read it, and decide whether you would like to take part in worship in the Church buildings. View/download as a

Personal Risk Assessment - as described in the 're-open' letter: View/download as

The Zoom services will continue, and the service will also still be available on this website, and in paper form.
There are details here of Worship sheets for each Sunday's service, and a link to watch a recorded video of each service.
Each service is also available live via Zoom on a Sunday morning. Click here to request the link for the Zoom Service (or email trinitynotices@live.co.uk).
We would really like to know your name, location and contact details so that we can keep in touch.
(Please get your request in well in advance - i.e. a day or two - so we can do the admin. to add you to the email contact group.)
Every Wednesday morning, there is a Zoom Coffee and Chat session (in place of the Wednesday Coffee Shop). Click here to request the link for the Zoom Coffee and Chat (or email trinitynotices@live.co.uk). Again, we would really like to know your name, location and contact details so that we can keep in touch.
(Please get your request in well in advance - i.e. a day or two - so we can do the admin. to add you to the email contact group.)
We hope you enjoy finding out about us and what we do. Our building is located in the middle
of Bury St. Edmunds' historic town centre, just a short walk from the market
square. Of course buildings matter but any church is really about its
people.
About
sixty of us gather for worship every Sunday morning at 10.00am and there
are other services at various times on a Sunday and during the week as you
will see from the
Worship page. Many other things happen during the
course of the week, ranging from
Messy Church
to a Luncheon Club for older people. Look at the
Activities page for
details.
We
aim to reach out so that many others can share in the life of the church and
experience something of God's love.
Methodists
have been described as the friends of all and the enemies of none. Whether
you are seeking faith or looking for a Church to link up with, you will be
very welcome. We believe that Jesus Christ's love is freely available for
all people. Wherever you live or wherever you come from and whatever your
background we hope that you will feel at home here and we look forward
to meeting you.
May
God bless you and all those you love.
Trinity's official address is:
Trinity Methodist Church
Brentgovel Street
Bury St Edmunds
IP33 1EB
... but it's easier to
find if you think of it as being at the top of Looms Lane, because Brentgovel Street is split into two with a pedestrianised area in the middle.
