Notices of Week of 9 September 2024
ALTOGETHER MORNING WORSHIP SERVICE THIS SUNDAY
15 September at 10.30 am will be our first monthly Altogether Service. This will also be our Harvest Celebration Service and we will be looking at Jesus’ words “Do not worry”. This year we will be collecting for the Salvation Army Food Bank so if you would like to contribute please bring any non perishable foods or toiletries to this service. It will be wonderful to worship together as a whole church family and to celebrate God’s goodness across the whole of creation and our lives. Breakfast of cofffee, tea and pastries will be served downstairs from 10.00 am. All welcome!
LADIES SOCIAL EVENING
Come and meet for another informal social evening at Ripon Inn on
Friday the 20th of September from 7:30pm
All ladies welcome. Just turn up whenever suits you. Feel free to order food too if you would like (some of us will be!)
For more information, please contact Becca at [email protected] or Kathryn on 07940 545642
(It would be good to know you’re coming if possible, but we’d love to see you anyway)
MISSION PARTNERS
Every three years our Mission partners are reviewed and whilst we feel it most appropriate to continue with many of our current partners, there is room for you to make suggestions in October. PCC had list of criteria for our charities see below:-
PCC CRITERIA RE OUTWARD GIVING
Committed to 10% tithe
70-80% of available money should be given to explicitly Christian partners with a bias towards those whose work is of an evangelistic nature and whose approach is in keeping with HT ‘s spiritual ethos
Ideally between half and three quarters of our outward giving should be directed overseas
Consideration should be given to supporting the whole age range
We are concerned to maintain a continuity of giving particularly to our “key” partners over a number of years
There should be good communication, ideally with a personal contact at HT
There should be a good system of accountability.
So please look out for voting slips in October so that we can look forward to another three years of fruitful partnership.

HARVEST ADVENTURE 2024
This is another exciting opportunity to set aside some time each day for one week to deepen your relationship with God. 30-minute daily appointments with accompaniers / guides are available. You might think of these daily appointments as a quiet time debrief or a week of daily appointments when you can more fully savour and relish what God is doing in your life. To do this best it will be helpful if you can also set aside some personal reading and reflection time on each day.
A flexible arrangement will be offered this year to enable as many folk to try this out. We will be offering a series of appointments over one week, but there are two weeks to chose from. Here are the options:
- Five consecutive (daily) appointments on the 16th to the 20th September
- Five consecutive (daily) appointments on the 23rd to the 27th September
Appointments are available at flexible times during the day and in the evening. If you can’t manage every one of the five days then come on the days that you are available
We are also offering an hour of Quiet and Reflection on the afternoon of Saturday 7th September, 3pm-4pm, as a taster and preparation a little before the Harvest Adventure starts so we might a little time with others who are also journeying over the fortnight. This will be at St John’s Bondgate.
