All Saints Church in Trefonen is the Parish Church for three rural villages;
Trefonen, Treflach and Nantmawr.
There is a strong sense of community in the village, which is seen in the Jubilee Club
and Gardening Club amongst others, but is perhaps most obvious on the May Bank Holiday,
when the 'Trefonen Hill Walk Weekend' takes place. This involves many families, the church,
the ramblers, cyclists and equine enthusiasts in a weekend of charitable events, culminating
in a service in the church on the Sunday evening.
The church building is placed centrally in the village of Trefonen, on the main road near the
war memorial cross and dates back to 1821. It tries to play an active part in village life and
hosts the annual Hill Walk Weekend Service. The church also produces a monthly magazine which
is distributed free within the parish.
The Sunday services are listed above and have congregations of around 50 adults.
The Communion services are Common Worship (Order 1) with hymns sung with organ accompaniment.
There is an active Sunday Club, with a group for primary age children and another group for young
teenagers. Both of these meet every Sunday (except in August). There is also a crèche facility
at the back of the church during all the services.
The Family Services are less formal with a lively music group.
Many people are involved in the life of the Church, in a wide variety of ways. In addition to those
helping with the children others help with the music, make coffee for the congregation after the
services, do the cleaning and flowers whilst some are assisting with leading worship, , or serving
on the many sub committees or ministry groups of the PCC (Worship, Building, Youth and Children,
Visiting, Prayer Ministry). Participating in house groups is an important part of church life.

What is God calling us to be in this place and at this particular time? to be His hands, to be His feet, to be His eyes, to be His ears, to share His love and to spread His Word If others are to meet Jesus it will be through meeting us. The Great Commission from Jesus says in Matthew 28: 18 - 20.-
