This Advent we’re encouraging people to get involved with the Bible Society’s #AdventChallenge The Bible Society’s online Advent calendar challenges you to do a small, practical act of kindness every day, to share goodwill and make a difference in this season of Advent. Last year, over 13,000 people took part, with over 105,000 challenges accepted. Whether it was the 4,000 people who actively encouraged someone, or the 3,000 contributions to local foodbanks, a massive difference was made. So this year, you could be buying someone flowers, babysitting … or even just giving a smile? You’ll receive an email each day which gives you three daily challenges throughout Advent, and you choose the one that best suits you. The challenges are simple, practical, Bible-based and life-affirming. So you can show your community what......

Saturday saw just under one hundred men from Shropshire churches get together with author Nick Page for the “Dark night of the shed” day conference. The day started  with bacon butties, before some welcomes, worship and introductions from the front. Bishop Mark Rylands joined Nick Page in reminiscing on their garden sheds, with the questions “what is in your shed that you wouldn’t want anyone to know about” and “what one thing would you do to improve your shed.” Sky TV to watch the cricket, and a micro brewery, featured in the answers…. Nick spoke in both morning sessions, firstly talking about the stories which shape our lives, and the false gods which promise much but deliver little. The second session looked at what new story might define our lives.......

Can you believe the Christmas season is almost upon us? We are asking again for folk to be generous and help us to help the needy in our town. In partnership with Shrewsbury Homes for All we hope you can help us to provide no fewer than 48 hampers, including 24 family hampers, for the vulnerable this Christmas. We appreciate times are tough and it is apparent in the lives of those we are aiming to help, so the hampers should include Christmas goodies and treats (but please NO alcohol!!) If you would like to help but can’t afford to make up a complete hamper then we will make up any donations into hampers to distribute. No donation is too small or insignificant. Cash donations are also welcome. Please......

Each year, we give the children in the reception clasess at our two primary schools in the parish the opportunity to take home for one night the Playmobil nativity set and hear the nativity story.  As part of this, they get to keep a small knitted sheep and a booklet about the Christmas story.  This year, there are more children than ever in our reception classes so the herd needs to grow!  This is a great opportunity for the children and their families to engage with the story and think about why we celebrate Christmas If you could help make a sheep then Judith Clarkson our children’s minister would love to hear from you.  Please email Judith at judith.clarkson@trinitychurches.org for more information Thank you!  ...

Second Sundays at Christ the King

At Christ the King we have been talking for quite some time about our services on the second Sunday of the month. How do we support the current monthly Radbrook Messy Church on a Sunday afternoon? How might our existing Sunday morning service develop, particularly on the second Sunday of each month? Are there other ways of meeting together – and doing church – which might help CTK as a whole to grow over the next months and years as we “live for Jesus, love one another and set a table for the world.” At our DCC meeting on Monday 26th September we made the decision that “we will continue to meet at RCC at 1030am on the second Sunday of each month, but we will give equal priority......
