Notices of Week of 17 March 2022
Here are this weeks notices.
It is heart breaking to see all the news coming out from Ukraine. I think one of the worst things is feeling so unable to do anything. But this isn’t true!!
Of course we can pray and there are ways of financially helping. There are many but here is the link to Disaster Emergency Committee Ukraine
The following is news about other way help has occurred or you can help.
Ripon Concerts At Monday’s concert held at Holy Trinity Church over £630 was donated by the people attending – what a fantastic and generous contribution. This will go forward to the DEC Fund for Ukraine.
There are 2 more concerts where you can financially contribute too. Firstly the Christian Aid Concert a week on Saturday (26 March) featuring the Northallerton Male Voice Choir will direct all monies raised to the Ukraine appeal. Details and tickets from Michael.
And, another concert being hosted at Holy Trinity on Friday 1 April is Ripon Concert for Ukraine tickets for this event are available now too.
We will be running our Sunflower Competition again this year and this will have a Ukraine focus too, as this is the national flower of Ukraine. Please look out for details very soon. Which will appear here in the next few days: Sunflower Growing
Finally, and possibly most importantly, we have established a prayer station in church where there are resources to use and to take away to help you pray for Ukraine. Access to this will be available at all times the church is open and from next week we will ensure that the church is un-locked between 9 and 1 pm (at least) every week day.

Shauna Hodgson It is with much sadness that we share with you that Shauna died on 6th March after having a stroke just before Christmas .
It was a blessed release for her and she is now with Jesus Christ whom she loved. The Thanksgiving Service is on Monday April 4th at 12.30pm at Holy Trinity. There will be no flowers but if anyone wants to donate to theYorkshire Air Ambulance then you can use the following link Shauna Hodson
