Worship the King. Grow the Kingdom

ReachOut: We are a church of outreach

At Trinity, Ubuntu is a reality for us: We are because others are and we practice our God-given humanity towards others. This means that ReachOut ministry at Trinity Methodist Church recognises the love God shows us as a community, and we respond to God’s love by showing love to others in as many different ways as we can.

This is how we Grow God’s Kingdom through ReachOut

Holiday Club

Our annual week of fun for primary school kids is open to all children in the Linden and surrounds area during the Easter school holidays. Fun and fellowship happens when about 30 young people/leaders are joined by about 130 children – who attend from 8.00am-1.00pm – get together each morning for worship, fun activities and learning about God.

Pop-up Play Place

An annual pop-up event for children and families. In recent years we have become aware of three things during school holidays:

  • children have nowhere to go for fun and fellowship,
  • entertainment is expensive and often far away,
  • children would love an activity to do.

Out of this was born the Pop-up Play Place.

The Project is involved in a number of initiatives which empower peopel through job creation, child aftercare, social work, skills development and job creation and a number of other initiatives. This is a ministry which is ‘close to home’ for Trinity as many of the Project’s offerings take place in Windsor and Northcliff.

Ikageng Itireleng AIDS Ministry

Many years ago one of our members, Carol Dyanti, became aware of the deep need to meet the tragedy and challenges faced by children affected by HIV and AIDS. Carol began the Ikageng Itireleng AIDS Ministry in Soweto to assist chid-headed households and those affected by HIV. Trinity have partnered with Ikageng Itirileng and been significantly involved in this ministry from the beginning.

2021 has seen some changes in the relationship between Carol and Ikageng, please find a statement by following the link below:

Other Weekly and Ongoing Outreach

Trinity have a number of other ReachOut projects which have been part of the fabric of our community for many years, made no less special by their ongoing nature, which touch the lives of many:

Sewing Classes

Teaching these important skills every Thursday afternoon at 2pm to anyone in the community who would like to learn a new skill. Many of the participants use these skills to generate additional income for themselves.

Life Skills Training

Trinity holds regular life skills workshops which are open to anyone in the community as an opportunity to share and grow the community practically.

Senior Citizens

A group of dedicated Trinity ladies host a seniors tea on the second Wednesday of each month for fellowship, tea and fun. It is open for all seniors to attend. Home communion is also taken to those who need it.

Pastoral Care Workshops

As a faith community, many of our members have specialised skill and knowledge which we aim to make available to our wider community. Trinity hosts informative workshops on various relevant topics throughout the year (e.g. Breast cancer awareness, depression, dealing with guilt, etc.) All are welcome to attend.

ReachOut: How to get involved

We are a community who cares. If you would like to get involved in any of these ReachOut projects, in any capacity, we would love to connect with you.
