Trinity Tuesday

Please come to Trinity Tuesday this week at 7.30 pm. This month we are going to pray for opportunities we want to give to the folk of Ripon to come to know Jesus. Is this not one of the most important prayers we can bring to God? We will pray for the current guests journeying through the Alpha Course and for the planned “Hope Explored” and Christianity Explored” courses we plan to run in the New Year.

Messy Church

On Saturday at 4 pm we have our regular Messy Church. Everyone is welcome to come to this and invite your friends and neighbours. Another way to reach out to our community!

We hope many folk will want to read this year’s recommended Advent Book: “Stick with Love”. Details of the book and some study options including a “Book Club” gathering in December are here: Advent Study
