Information of social groups organised through Howe Trinity Parish Church

The Church of Scotland Parish of Howe Trinity has several active community groups including the traditional Guild, the After 8's, a Prayer and Worship Group, as well as the Choir and Music Group. All groups are well attended, but new members are always welcome. See below for further details of each group.

		With more than 40,000 members, the Church of Scotland Guild is Scotland's largest voluntary organisation. Although primarily for women, men are welcome to join, too. The local Guild in Howe Trinity meet on the third Monday of the month at 7.30pm in the church hall. A warm welcome is extended to all members and friends of the congregation.

		The After 8's is a local Young Womans Social Group. They meet at 8pm on the last Monday of each month in the Howe Trinity Church Hall. The group gives the opportunity for the women of the Howe to meet in a relaxed, informal manner and make new friends. Past events have included basic car maintainence, dinner at the planetarium, a reflexology evening, and a guided tour of Alford. Find out more: Contact Susan Pryde on Alford 64246.

	---------------------------------------------------------------------------
		The choir was re-established in 2000 in order to strengthen the musical life of the congregation and support the praise. A small "working choir" sings every week to give a lead to the congregational singing and to support the organist. The main choir practices once a month. The choir leads the singing that Sunday, it may introduce a new hymn, and sing an introit or anthem or both. And when Howe Trinity hosts the monthly Songs of Praise service it leads the singing at that. New members are always welcome. An ability to sing in tune is essential, the ability to read music is preferred, but not compulsory. Find out more: Contact the minister on Alford 62282.

Any instrumentalist interested in joining the group would be most welcome. Find out more: Contact Alison Cook on Alford 62282.

		The church has a bible study group whose principal aim is to try and bring the bible message and it's meaning alive to modern day living. This group has been meeting for over a year now, very informally, every Tuesday where they study a passage with the help of Bible reading notes and discuss its meaning to us today. They do not go in for sermons and everyone is encouraged to join in the discussion. The Bible Study Group meet each Tuesday evening (7.30pm) at 12 Stewart Road, Alford Find out more: Contact Roddy Kennedy on Alford 63883.
