Trinity United Methodist Church

This church was very warm and welcoming, and the pastor even invited us to have lunch with him after the service in a future week. I attended this church twice, and I was impressed the first time by the guest preacher, but did not enjoy the preaching of the head pastor (his sermon was dis-organized and boring). The church building is very large and seems to have a long history in Durham, but the congregation is small now, and to make things worse they do not sit near each other but rather spread out among the pews. This made passing the peace awkward, and symbolic of the lack of community here. The worship was very traditional, and generally lifeless. The highlight of this church was definitely the Pastor's warm welcome, and the guest preacher the first time I attended.
