Last Sunday

We continued our sermon series looking at the book of Philippians on Sunday, in conjunction with the Discipleship Explored courses.

Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. Philippians 2: 15b – 16

Keep in His grip!

APCM / Bring and Share Lunch / Electoral Roll

It is the time of year when we have our Annual Parochial Council Meeting (APCM). Basically, this is our annual meeting where people can find out what has happened; what our plans are; and to be informed about everything happening at Holy Trinity Church. All of the following relates to this:

Electoral Roll At this time we review our Electoral Roll. Part of this process is to enable folk to inspect the Electoral Roll and this is happening at the moment and will continue to be open until and including this Sunday coming. Details are in the Narthex. If you know you aren’t on the Electoral Roll and would like to be please print this form, complete it and send it back to the office. Electoral Roll Application

The APCM itself The APCM will this year be incorporated into our 10.30 worship on Sunday 26 March. It is not a separate meeting. This is to enable as many folk as possible to attend – please try and come.

Bring and Share Lunch Because we are coming together for the APCM we’d like to extend this coming together for everyone to join for lunch after the service on Sunday 26 March. We’ll give more details about the lunch soon – but please keep this Sunday free to join us if you can from midday.

Discipleship Explored

The feed back from the considerable numbers attending the large number of Discipleship Explored courses we are running at the present time is very encouraging. We hope you continue to come to these. Please note that if you miss any sessions we can arrange for the relevant video to be sent out to you – just ask the office. Also, if you have missed a session there is an opportunity to join a small group on a Monday afternoon at 2 pm looking at the previous week’s session. Anyone is welcome to come to this but please let the office know.
