A Christmas Visit Christmas is a lonely time for many. This year, with restrictions on travel and gatherings, there are likely to be many more in our community who feel alone. We’d love to reach out to our neighbours and tell them that they are NOT alone. The thought behind “A Christmas Visit” is really simple: we’d…
Fighting for connection In this season we have to fight for things we used to take for granted. Community was easier when we could eat together every week. On Sundays we experienced a Body which was larger than our immediate household or LifeGroup, and centred our weeks in a vibrant time of encountering the Holy…
This year we’re giving it all away! Every year since Trinity began we have had a Gift Day. Gift Day is when we give over and above our regular giving as an act of faith, thanksgiving and worship. In past years we have given, for example, to local organizations that serve the poor like Union…
I’m sure, like me, that you are watching the unfolding events in the US with sadness and concern. Hearing some of the stories people have shared has taken me back into my years growing up in South Africa, where the ugly spectre of racism cast it’s dark shadow over our lives.

I’ve got something exciting to share with you…. But before I tell you about it – let me start with a story from my work.

We arrived back from a vacation in the middle of March and during those 8 days away the world had changed. We would be in quarantine for 14 days, both of our offices had moved to remote working and schools and preschools had closed. It certainly was a huge shock to the system but what…
SCENE Heaven. THE LORD in impeccable white, radiant on his throne. SATAN, stepping ahead of the gathered Sons of God, squints into the brightness. THE LORD (Making eye contact with SATAN) Have you considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and…
At Trinity Central we LOVE a good party. Usually that involves getting together at someone’s house and enjoying food and drink, but the current circumstances make that a bit tricky. But that’s not going to stop us! On April 25th we are trying out something new. We are going to hold a virtual party with…
You don’t need me to tell you that we are living in strange times. Everything is a little off kilter these days. We can’t do what we normally do. We can’t just ‘pop into’ the grocery store when we feel like it, we can’t catch up over a coffee in our favourite cafe, we can’t…
