Notices of the Week of 16 June 2025

Essential Prayer During the Vacancy
Please continue to pray for the process of finding a new Vicar for Holy Trinity Church. This week is a critical moment where all of the application forms received will be considered and a short list for interview (hopefully in July) will be established.

Thank you to all the members of Holy Trinity Congregation who distributed Christian Aid envelopes in May. We raised £847 in cash and hopefully many more people donated directly on line to support the work of this amazing charity. Thank you!

MISSION PARTNER FOCUS – RIPON & RURAL VOLUNTARY CAR DRIVING SERVICE
The Ripon & Rural Voluntary Driving Service is now being run by Tadcaster Volunteer Community Support Association (rather than Harrogate & District Community Action). However, the clients and volunteers remain the same. Volunteer drivers provide transport for individuals to attend medical appointments, shopping or social activities when they are unable to use other publicly provided transport. Please pray for:-
The continuation of this invaluable service
More volunteers to come forward
The wellbeing of both clients and volunteers
