News from Holy Trinity Redgate

It was just over 18 years ago that the idea of a church plant in the Redgate estate was first thought about. After much thought and more importantly, the will to be able to turn thought into reality, the thought did become first a reality, then became a success.

Now there is a new challenge that has involved the same amount of thought and its fulfillment is fast approaching, with the Redgate launch of Formby Messy Church. This follows the Ravenmeols Community Centre in May, an event that exceeded all the expectations of every volunteer there that day, to see so many families - over 100 people, people who had very likely never been in a church before - enjoying themselves, sharing a meal together and more importantly, listening to the gospel and joining in with the celebration songs.

To witness this, is to see something remarkable happen. July 18th, will be the date Messy Church comes to Redgate, a date that will need volunteers, to help on the day, to distribute leaflets around the estate before hand, and to pray for the day itself, to pray not just for the day, but for this new congregation.
