This year, our Christmas theme is "Who is Jesus?" In a year of confusion and searching for convictions the biggest question of all is who is that baby born 2000 years ago. He divides history and has had such a huge impact on the British Isles. At Holy Trinity we are looking at the names and titles of Jesus that take us all the way back to the actual events of 2000 years ago and the birth of a boy that would change history like no other.

Coming to Holy Trinity FAQs
Q: Who can come to a Holy Trinity Service?
A: This is an easy one! Anyone
Q: Do I need to be a Christian or believe anything already?
A: Not at all. Everyone is genuinely welcome, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. Whether you have strong faith, are simply curious, have doubts, or have no faith at all, you are welcome to come and explore.
Q: Do I need to pay to attend?
A: No, absolutely not! Church services are completely free to attend. We may talk about giving because we rely on generosity. We have ways to give like this page and a contactless terminal in Church. As a guest, please do not feel any pressure or obligation to contribute.
Q: What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
A: Please "Come as you are!" There is no dress code.
Q: Will my children be welcome or are they too noisy?
A: Absolutely welcome - we get it!
Q: How long does a service last?
A: Tricky as service time does vary, most services are around 75 minutes - Christmas services aimed at children like Nativity, Christingle and Christmas Day are all shorter!
Q: Do I have to participate in everything?
A: No. You are free to simply observe. If the congregation stands to sing or recite something, you can remain seated if you prefer. We want you to feel relaxed and not put on the spot. The leader of the service will guide us through and tell us what is happening.
Q: Will I be singled out as a visitor?
A: We strive to make guests feel welcome without feeling embarrassed. We won't ask you to stand up or introduce yourself from the front. Our hope is that you can experience the service naturally.
Q: Can I come to one service or do I have to commit to be a regular attendee?
A: Whatever suits you. Come to all of them, come to one of them - no pressure
