The gifts that God gives to us.

Here is a video of a guy called Danny MacAskill, an extremely gifted biker. This video is here to remind us that God has given us all gifts, of varying shapes and sizes. Be they riding a bike, or mabey a unicycle, it could be you are good at drawing, or making thinks out of string, mabey you really good with animals/adults/children, mabey you can stick loads of clothes pegs to your face, or can eat an pineapple really fast, It could be anything. We want to challenge you to think about who you are using your gifts for, yourself or God?

Sunshine and Snoozes...

God is creative.

Yesterday, we saw lightening strike across the sky, we heard and felt thunder roar, and today, we are warmed by the rays of the amazing sunshine. Inbetween the thunder and the sunshine, Coventry got darker, cooler, and the city rested for the night. Sleep is a wonderful thing. It gives our bodies a chance to recharge - we can't just tell our bodies to keep going, we must stop, relax, breath deeply and rest. Not a bad thing. And God awakes us with the sunshine (or, to be fair, awakes us with a slightly lighter than night grey sky), and gives us a new day to experience, full of new mercy, new grace, and more time.

No, it's not bad at all. Thanks God.

Spark in the Park!


Hey guys!

It's time for us to start thinking about Spark in the Park - woohoo! Spark is a city wide outreach that happens in the War Memorial Park, from August 10th to the 16th. Each day, from 1:30-4:30pm, we'll have face painting, amazing crafts, sports, massive inflatables, songs and storytime, along with a host of other amazingly fun activities for the whole family! There's also evening activities for the whole family on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. Spark is run by a bunch of local churches, including Holy Trinity. We (Dre & Josh) are on the Executive Committee for it, which means we help put the whole thing together.
To make it all happen, we need a ton of volunteers, around 100 each day! If you're aged 14+ and can put a smile on your face, we've got a role for you! Email us at YouthMinister@holytrinitycoventry.org.uk and we'll send you an application form and answer any questions you have. We need all kinds of people, including people willing to provide security on site at night - so get in touch, and SPREAD THE WORD!
