GODLY PLAY TRAINING EVENT

Liz Morton, from the Diocesan Children’s Team, will be leading a Godly Play training event at St Peter’s Harrogate (Brostoff Hall) on Saturday 9th November 9.30-12.00.

A set of resources for Godly Play are now stored at St Peter’s, so this is an opportunity to see what’s available and learn/be reminded how to put it to good use.

Suitable for beginners, or as a refresher for those already with some Godly Play experience, this Godly Play Taster Morning will take place at St Peter’s Church Harrogate.

Please email [email protected] to book your place.

THANK YOU FROM MICHELLE

Michelle would like to extend a huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone at Holy Trinity Church for the kind and generous cards, messages gestures and gifts as she and the family said goodbye to Ripon and to us on the 13^th October in order to take up a new post as vicar of St Edmund’s Church Roundhay in November. Michelle writes:

The last 3 and a half years have been full of learning, love and living life in all its fullness for me personally and for my family. Thank you to everyone at Holy Trinity and many in the wider Ripon community for the love and hospitality extended to us and for being part of this journey. We have settled well in Roundhay and trust in God’s ongoing grace and purpose for us as we begin this new adventure with him. I shall miss you enormously and you remain in my thoughts and prayers.
