Lord Jesus, we know you have plans for Holy Trinity Church here in Ripon and we trust that those plans are good. Holy Spirit guide those who are seeking the right minister to be our next vicar and those who are seeking the right next step in their ministry. For Your kingdom in this place. Amen.

We are delighted to be interviewing for our new Vicar on 3^rd July. Please continue to pray for those attending for interview, and the interview panel.

The church and car park will be closed all day on 3^rd July and none of the usual Thursday activities will be taking place. This means there will be no Breakfast Club, Thursday Communion or Thursday lunch. Please make sure this information is passed to any who may not receive email communication.
