Crowd Funding for Breakfast Club and Renew Ripon

We have had a great start to this, having raised over £1,700 in just a matter of days! Full details are here: Crowdfunder We want the whole of Ripon (and beyond) to know about this! Share the link, put it on your Facebook Page, keep conversations going about this. We want Ripon to know about these amazing community focused groups we have at Holy Trinity so more people come and more local people donate if they can. Thank you for all your help so far.

Maundy Thursday Fellowship Meal

As Chris mentioned this week, we hope folk will be able to meet in groups in different homes for the first part of the Maundy Thursday service sharing a very simple meal & liturgy, then coming together at Holy Trinity for the Communion part of the service. If you have joined with us in the past, you will be aware of the celebratory atmosphere of meeting over food before coming to the service together and then at the end of the night going out into the dark night in silence; in a small way experiencing some of the feelings from the Last Supper. The service itself will start at 7:30 pm so people who are arranging meals need to allow time to get to church for 7.30 pm

The instructions for the meal and a copy of the liturgy is available here: Meal Instructions Meal Liturgy

3. As long as progress is according to plan it is hoped the new extension will be finished shortly after Easter. Please pray for no hitches or delays.
