Laity Team

Hosts and Sidespeople, Readers and Intercessors

The welcome to visitors and newcomers offered at Sunday Services is an important part of the ministry of this Parish. At Holy Trinity Church there are teams of Hosts whose main responsibility each week is to be the ‘welcoming face’ of the Church, ready to meet newcomers, make them feel comfortable, provide them with information about the Church and its activities and to introduce them to a member of the clergy team. Hosts are part of the larger team of sidespeople who are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting to help the Churchwardens with the management of the Sunday morning services.

Members of the congregation may also be invited (or volunteer) to join the teams of laity who read the lessons at the morning and evening services in both churches and to lead intercessions at morning services.
