A weekly
Traidcraft Stall is available on Wednesdays and on
the 1st Saturday of each month when a variety of
fairly traded goods are available. This is staffed
by volunteers from various churches in the
town. The church's aim
is to be an open and affirming community, where
people with various backgrounds, beliefs and
life-styles are welcome. Though Trinity is a joint
congregation of the United Reformed and Methodist
Churches, people from many Christian backgrounds
have found a home there. The church operates within
the Leek Circuit of the Methodist Church and the
Staffordshire District of the United Reformed
Church. The church is
housed in a 19c Congregationalist building, which
was extensively refurbished in the 1980s to make it
more accessible and flexible. Plans are now afoot
to give the building another make over so that it
will better fulfil the church's aspirations for the
21st century. Trinity Church
participates in 'Churches Together in Leek and
District' helping to make Leek a strong ecumenical
town. It also shares services regularly with St.
Edward's Church of England, the town's ancient
parish church. Services are
held every Sunday at 10.30am and 6 pm (or 6.30pm,
when shared with St Edward's). Once a month there
is a Service of Holy Communion at 9.15am. Details
of each week's services are posted on the front
door of the church. Trinity Young
People (TYP) meet on Sunday mornings when children
from about 4 years upwards meet to discover the
meaning of a Christian way of life. There is also a
crèche for babies and very young children
who can be cared for during the Service. During school
term times on Friday mornings the lower hall is
bustling with Mums and Babies/Toddlers enjoying and
hour and a half of friendship and play. More information
about the church can be obtained from the office on
Wednesday and Friday mornings (01538-398483), the
Church Secretary, George Wiskin on
