	Worship
	Of first and foremost importance in any Christian organisation is the act of worship. In Howe Trinity this is no exception. We have a worship group which meets regularly and helps steer the path the worship should follow. All are welcome to join and participate in this group. Throughout the year there are special family services eg. easter, harvest thanksgiving, thinking day (for local young uniformed groups), Christmas, and many more. Communion Service also take place on the last Sunday of April and the last Sunday of October, and on Christmas and Easter Day. The minister is happy to provide a Home Communion service for any housebound member. Contact your elder, or the minister directly to arrange this.
