A WEEK OF PRAYER AT HOLY TRINITY CHURCH

We have set apart the first week of June (1st – 7th) as a week of prayer to help us hear from God as a church during this exciting season in the life of Holy Trinity Church. There will be a prayer space in church available all week and regular slots to join together as we seek Gods will.

MISSION PARTNERS PRAYER FOCUS

WALLED GARDEN

Prayer points:

The people we support, and our wonderful staff and volunteer teams who deliver our services in line with our values of kindness, excellence and individuality.

The local community who support us, by visiting the café, our garden nursery and buying their plants, and supporting our fundraising events. The community visiting creates a diverse environment overcoming barriers to disability. Every penny they spend directly helps us to help more people.

The beautiful environment of the Walled Garden, and praying for weather that will help our plants and Orchard grow, so that we can harvest and celebrate in the autumn. People can visit us throughout the year to see the Orchard Bloom, and come along for the fun of Apple Day on the 3rd of October.
