Did you see the launch of our stewardship campaign?
If we continue spending at the same rate without increasing our income we will run out of money in five years. Watch Rev’d Lara talk about our situation here:
We have a huge positive potential as a community in person and online. As Rev’d Lara has said, we know times are hard, but can you help us in other ways? We have a leaflet available in church and to download from here, that talks about all the ways your time and talents can be used to help Holy Trinity Dunfermline continue for years to come.
What is MyChurch?
It is a collection of practical ways to get involved with church and helping our Christian fellowship and strengthening your faith.
What is the idea?
There are a number of different ways to connect with church life listed in the booklet. You can choose as many or as few to try – some suggestions are listed below. The most important thing is that YOU decide and YOU choose.
What is needed?
Help is always needed to keep any community going and most people are more than willing to help. However, sometimes the same people volunteer their time over a long span of time and others find it difficult or don’t know
how to get involved. So MyChurch helps you to try different jobs and see if you enjoy these and to renew your commitment to your church.
How does it work?
Decide which activities interest you then please fill in the form and return it to the church or get in touch with us, you can do this through the contacts us page, Messenger or if you can’t find what you are looking for please contact us! Someone will get in touch to discuss your choices and how to get involved.
How does this help?
Our first purpose in our Christian faith is to worship God and the parish church and its congregation are a good place to start in strengthening and nurturing our faith.
Helping in church will help us grow as a community and as individuals. A task ‘taken on’ in church will connect us with each other and form us more strongly into the body of Christ.
What else can I do?
The services, activities and jobs listed are only some of the things you can do. If you are unable to pledge to take part in any of these activities please pray for those who do. There is a suggested prayer and passage of scripture for each theme. You might like to give a donation for each of the activities you take part in or pray for.
Thank you for your time and energy! An
appropriate person will contact you to discuss becoming more involved. Your contact details will not be shared otherwise.
