We are using this page to keep in touch and encourage everyone to continue to worship the Lord, pray and serve our community together whilst Public services are suspended.
You can access updates for the church on this website. Paul Crane has set up a Skype group for all Holy Trinity members to use to keep in touch. This can be used for sharing text messages in a similar way to What's App. He has sent the link to everyone who receives the notices via e-mail. If you don't receive the notices by e-mail but would like to join the Skype group please contact Paul Crane or Shirley. We are also keeping in touch with each other via text message and phone calls. St Ann's are keeping in touch via Skype (Andrea has sent an e-mail link for this if you would like to join their Skype group, but if you haven't got the link please contact St Ann's if you would like further details)
Please Sign up with Churchwarrington Holy Week Prayer. We have been asked to pray on Wednesday 8th April.

Resources to help you draw closer to God
Often people say they don’t have time to read the Bible. Unfortunately, it seems like lots of us will be getting more free time, whether we like it or not. Wouldn’t it be a shame, as a Christian, to look back on this free time and see it all wasted binging Netflix! Why not commit some of your spare time to reading God's word. On our resources page there are many resources available to encourage you to read scripture on a daily basis. The 'Bible in one year', Bible Gateway and YouVersion enable you to have the Bible on your phone, tablet, and computer so bringing God's Word into your daily life. Look at the Book is a new 5 - 10 minute online video resource by John Piper which aims to help us understand what the bible is saying. Premier Christian Radio also aims to bring the word of God into your everyday life through it's programs. For those who prefer a written plan, the 5 Day Bible Reading Program is a free download from Bible Class Material. For more information click this resources page link.
