Trinity is the largest of the four churches within the Penarth Methodist Circuit and worships in a very impressive building at the junction of Stanwell Road and Woodland Place, just up from the town centre.
With a membership of 229 and an average congregation of 93 it makes up above half of our circuit. Trinity is in the Pastoral Care of Rev. Prof. Teddy Kalongo who moved to the Penarth circuit from Zambia in August 2007. He can be contacted on 029 20707013 or kalongot@supanet.com
Family Worship takes place on Sundays at 10.30am (with Sunday School for all ages) and evening services are alternated with the other churches in the circuit. There is usually an ALL AGE WORSHIP service on the 4th Sunday of each month which seeks to appeal to young people in particular.
Trinity is home to a variety of groups throughout the week:
MHA LIVE AT HOME SCHEME provides meals, company and support for elderly folk who are still living in their own homes. Please contact the co-ordinator, Linda Brownhill for more information - 029 2071 2516.
