Message from Jed Bates

I would like to thank all at Holy Trinity for their generous gift given to me by Chris last Sunday – it was totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. Julie and I will enjoy using its content later in May when we both have birthdays!

It was an honour to serve God and yourselves as Church Warden for the last two years.
