We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water the seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces effects far beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something and to do it well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.
The Leicester Trinity Circuit aims to inspire and enable its people to love and serve God, made known to us in Christ, throughout churches and communities.
The Circuit comprises city centre, inner city areas, outer suburbs, outlying towns, and villages to the north, south and east. Of our twenty churches, two are Local Ecumenical Partnerships: one is shared with Anglicans, the other with Baptists. Another of our churches is signed up to an Area LEP with both Anglican and URC churches. Another hosts a Moravian congregation.
We delight in the involvement of ministers of other denominations in the life of our Circuit and value ecumenical working and association.We also enjoy hosting other congregations for their weekly services in some of our Circuit's church buildings. Some of these are Pentecostal. Two are congregations of different connexions of Methodists from Zimbabwe.
We share much of our life and work in cooperation with the Leicester West Circuit. Together we amount to 'Leicester Methodists' and play our part in the work and witness of the one church of Jesus Christ. Come and join us in this! You'd be very welcome.
