PRAYING FOR RIPON, 2 AUGUST, 7.30 am

We are meeting at Holy Trinity Church to pray for the whole of Ripon.

This is a Ripon wide initiative that happens on the first Sunday of every month.

Please come and join us.

INFORMAL MEN’S BREAKFAST, 8 AUGUST, 9.00 am

The informal men’s breakfast has been set up to cater for those who can’t wait to eat in between the Men’s Breakfast meetings we have every other month.  There is no speaker at this event but is an opportunity for people to invite their friends and neighbours for breakfast and get to know some Christian men.

This is a regular event, we meet every second Saturday of the month. 

GENEROUS GIVING RESPONSE

Following Phil speaking on Generosity and the church’s financial position please will you respond by praying and then completing a Generous Giving Pledge Form.  There will be paper forms in church on Sunday or you can fill in a form online here.  Many thanks.

Dear All,

I am writing to let you know that Alison Ratcliffe has resigned from her role as Mission Enabler.

We are sorry to see Alison leave the role and we are deeply grateful for all she has contributed during her three years as Mission Enabler. Her faithful service, creativity and commitment to the life and mission of the church have been a real blessing, and we thank God for all she has given.

Her last working day will be Thursday 27^th August.

We will have the opportunity to publicly thank Alison at the 10.30 service on Sunday 6^th September.

Please pray for Alison in this transition time and for us as a church as we navigate this change.

God bless

Phil
