Who we are
Trinity serves a population of some 6000 people, a figure almost equal to that of the other two Churches of Scotland in the town. Trinity prides itself on its inclusive approach to worship and membership. The Electoral Roll has around 425 members, and weekly worship numbers between 50 and 100.
Sunday worship is at 11.15am to allow the Minister to get back from the earlier service at Caddonfoot, about 10 minutes drive away. Worship is relevant, inclusive, and uplifting, with shafts of humour interspersed. There is a rota of readers who take it in turn to read the Bible lessons.
Communion services take place 4 times a year, at the morning service, and members of the Deaf Community from Edinburgh and the Borders attend two of these annually, together with their Minister and interpreter. A short communion service is also held jointly with Caddonfoot at 3pm on four Sundays a year. Home Communion is offered to those who request it.
There is also a weekly Bible study group which looks at the following Sunday’s lectionary readings, and their reflections are often included in the sermon preached by the minister on that Sunday.
A creche is available every Sunday and all the Safeguarding regulations are covered.
There is an active Guild with 38 members which meets once a fortnight with an interesting programme. The Guild organises three coffee mornings each year, two of which raise money for guild projects, and one for the Guild funds.

I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
