Having fun and developing fellowship
As well as the groups and activities listed below various small groups meet both regularly and occasionally to explore their faith in different ways, for example through Bible Study or discussions. In addition, we also hold social events such as ‘Quiz Nights’, ‘Film nights’, Bring and Share’ meals and parties as a means of encouraging fellowship and outreach.
Events are notified on our Notice Boards, in our weekly newsletter, our quarterly news sheet and where appropriate in the community news section of The Lowestoft Journal. We are always looking for new ideas and ways in which we can develop our relationships with each other, with our community and with God. This is underpinned by a developing pastoral care system which encourages everyone to look out for each other. If you want more information on any of these groups do get in touch via the email Email: trinitymethodistlowestoft@gmail.com
