PRAYING FOR RIPON

On the first Sunday of the month we have a small group who meet at church at 7 am to pray for Ripon. We’d love you to come along and join in with this. The next time is this Sunday (November 2) at 7.30 am. And if your thinking – oh I can’t do that as I’d miss breakfast, don’t forget that we serve breakfast on the first Sunday of the month from 9 am! See next item.

BREAKFAST AT TRINITY

Our next breakfast, served on a Sunday between the 9 am and the All Age 10.30 am service happens this Sunday (2 November). Everyone welcome and a good day to bring a friend to Holy Trinity!

PHIL’S INSTITUTION – GETTING READY!

Phil’s service is Wednesday 12th November at 7 pm.

On Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th we hope to give the Church and some of the rooms a good tidy. On Wednesday morning we will be setting up the furniture for the service. If you can help at any of these times please let us know by filling in the form here: Getting Ready for Phil If we know which people are coming and when, we can better prepare the jobs schedule – so it really helps if you let us know.

Refreshments

Please could our Trinity family provide plates of Finger food ( savoury and sweet) for the refreshments following the service.

If your surname is :

A-M please bring plated SAVOURY items ( for example; sandwiches, sausage rolls, pork pies, cheese scones ( buttered) etcetc. Be imaginative but cold finger food only please.

M-Z plated SWEET items ( For example ; Traybakes, cakes, biscuits, buttered scones with jam alongside, etcetc )

Please could you cater for at least 10 people as we will have a lot of visitors to host on this occasion. We want to give our visitors a good welcome.

Please drop off plates in the Arches as you arrive for the service and collect your plate and any remaining food afterwards. Thank you everyone!

Welcome Lunch for Phil, Bec and Family

On Phil’s first Sunday with us we are holding a simple (baked potato) lunch to say an informal hello to Phil and his family. This will be served after the 10.30 am service in the arches. We do need you to sign up to this in advance so that we can correctly cater for this – please sign up here: Welcome Lunch

MUSIC WORSHIP EVENING, 30 NOVEMBER, 6.30 pm – 8.30 pm

This will not be a service as such, but simply a couple of hours of praising our God together through music. This will be a time to enjoy singing and making music together, worshipping God, and encouraging one another.

Everyone is welcome irrespective of your musical ability. There will be different groups playing different songs throughout the evening and we will follow a clear programme to help everything flow smoothly.

CHRISTIANITY EXPLORED

Holy Trinity Church has been selected to reveiw the latest version of the Christianity Explored course. This is a great honour and we are excited to be helping in this way. If you would be interested in helping do this between now and Christmas we will be planning very shortly – times to meet to watch the videos and do the course (as if for real). If you are interested in helping with this please speak to Chris or John in the office. We will most likely make this a day time event.

ST JOHN AMBULANCE PUBLIC AWARENESS SESSION

The St. John Ambulance team are running a free public awareness session on Monday the 17th of November starting at 8pm in the Arches.

They are wanting members of the community to join them, learn about hands only CPR, how to use a public defibrillator and place someone in the recovery position.

The demonstration session will run for just over an hour, then there will be the opportunity for some hands only practice for those who want to take part.

The session is suitable for adults or children age 12 upwards. it is okay not to be able to do CPR. This is an awareness session, so people who can’t get up off the floor or kneel down are welcome, they could tell someone else what to do in the event of an emergency.

The more people who are not afraid to get a community defibrillator out and use it, the more people are given a chance of life!
