Upcoming event!

22nd September 2017, 12-8pm: AMANI African Arts Festival
The stage is set for the launch of a brand new annual African Arts festival for Manchester.
The first Amani festival, which is the brainchild of African-led social enterprise, Amani Creatives, will take place between 12 noon and 8pm on Saturday, 22 July at Sacred Trinity Church. It represents the opportunity for all residents and cultures of Salford and Manchester city centre to come together to celebrate high quality African arts, including live music, storytelling, face decoration, dance and workshops, thus enriching the local arts scene. Food and related cultural traders stalls will also be on site.
Amani Creatives supports the inclusion of local African communities into wider society through performing arts events, workshops and programmes which use arts and culture as a tool for community development, wellbeing and community cohesion. The organisation was set up in January 2015 by Congolese singer-songwriter, Emmanuela Yogolelo and Cameroonian Jazz musician, Tagne Tebu.

Our Community Choir will also be taking part in the musical performances – so please come along!

About

Sacred Trinity are a welcoming church worshipping in a small but lovely building.  Sacred Trinity was the first church in Salford but is right next to Manchester city centre and we relate to both the city centre and the rest of Salford.  Many of our congregation walk to church but some come from further away. The building is also host to a variety of different groups.

Sundays

We meet on Sunday mornings at 11.15 am for a contemporary Anglican Communion. We are fairly traditional but friendly and relaxed with a twist of creativity. We always say that “All are Welcome” and we genuinely believe it. We are a mix of young and old, black and white, gay and straight, male and female, child and adult, well off and struggling to get by, noisy and quiet… Whoever you are there is room for you at Sacred Trinity. After the service we serve good coffee and have a chance to chat.

Sunday evenings we meet at 7.00 pm for a quieter, smaller, less formal service. In the evenings we start with a drink and we also get the beanbags out.

20th July 2017: The Red Turtle
“This wordless animated fable follows the fortunes of a shipwrecked man on an island – and it’s a masterpiece!” – Mark Kermode, The Guardian
We’d like to invite you to our monthly Film Night in July where we’re going to show “The Red Turtle”. The 2016 animated fantasy film co-written and directed by Dutch-British animator Michaël Dudok de Wit and produced by Toshio Suzuki from Japan tells the story of a man who becomes shipwrecked on a deserted island and meets a giant red turtle. Soon, though, his story blooms into something more mysterious and meditative – and though there isn’t a single word of dialogue in the film’s 80-minute running time, the big questions it asks, about ambition, acceptance and the beauty of companionship, ring loud in every heart-melting frame.
