Special Meetings
Throughout the year we seek to engage with our community by opening up the church building to those who might not attend regularly. These meetings are intended to be especially suitable for visitors and newcomers. There are meals, coffee times, family events and seasonal specials. Please see our full schedule for the year and come along to see what we are doing, join in with our church fellowship and hear the message of the good news in Christ Jesus.
Men's Meetings
The Men’s meeting at the Trinity Grace Church Ramsbottom is a welcoming place where we seek to grow in grace and faith in our love for God and each other as we study the word of God together. We usually have our meetings once a month on Saturdays from January to November of the year.
We usually study a book written by a trusted Christian author and is usually led by one of our Elders and then followed by a time of informal discussion on the issues and prayer. The meeting is preceded by breakfast with tea; coffee and a chance for a quick catch up on arrival we then begin the study.
In addition one of the Saturday meetings is dedicated for outreach as pizza night where we invite relatives, friends and work colleagues to share fellowship with us and listen to God’s word.
Ladies Meetings
The ladies meeting here at Trinity Grace are a warm, welcoming place where we seek to grow in our faith and in our love for God and each other as we study the word of God together. We usually have our meetings once a month on Saturdays from October to June.
We have a theme for the year and we have covered subjects from “Women Who Encountered Jesus” and “Contentment”. Sometimes we will study a complete book of the Bible in the year as we did with Ephesians; other times we will focus on specific passages like the ‘Fruit of the Spirit” or “The Beatitudes”.
The meeting usually follows the same format: tea, coffee and a chance for a quick catch up as we arrive; we then begin with a study from the scripture lead by one of the ladies; this is followed by a time of informal discussion on the issues raised by the passage studied; and we finish with a time of open prayer informed by what we have learned and by the needs around us.
We encourage all ladies, to join with us and share in the great blessing these meetings have been to us, and we look forward to welcoming you.
The meetings last from 10am-12noon and are on a Saturday.
Theme for 2024/25: Reflections on Jim Renihan’s book “True love”, relating to love as it is revealed in 1 Corinthians 13
Care for our Young People (mentoring)
Children are a great joy to have in the Church, whatever age they are. They are a tremendous gift of God, not only to their parents, but also the wider Church family. However, we also recognise that as a Church we have a responsibility to support parents as they raise their children in the ways and word of God.
To this end we seek to offer particular spiritual care for the children of the fellowship, in close liaison with the parents. The extent of our involvement, and the specific care in each circumstance, will depend upon the age, spiritual development and family situation of the individual child.
The aim of the mentoring scheme is to help the child come to an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, be baptised on their profession of faith in Christ, and become faithful members in the local Church, serving the Lord with faithfulness and zeal.
Each mentor will be chosen by the elders, and approved by parents, with prayer that our young people might know the blessing of God upon them.
Care for the Elderly
In our society, the elderly are often side lined and not respected, failing to receive the care that they really need. This should not be so, particularly in the Church. The Bible has much to say about the respect we should give to those older than us, because of their wisdom and experience of life. As we read in Job 12:12, “Wisdom is with aged men, and with length of days is understanding.”
As a Church we seek to take this seriously, endeavouring to provide care for the needs of the elderly among us. Old age does not come alone: it often comes with illness, disability and loneliness. As best we can, we seek to provide spiritual care under the oversight of the eldership, and physical help through the ministry of the deacons.
There are limits of course to what we can do, but that doesn’t stop us doing our best for these needy folk, who have often given their lives in service of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our desire is that in their last years, they may find the help they need, before they enter into their final rest with the Lord Jesus Christ.
