Adult Events and Activities
Generally
We have a number of events and activities that are for adults. Details of the regular adult activities appear below.
We are also very pleased to announce that in May 2024 Holy Trinity Church was fully certified as a Single Friendly Church
Renew Ripon
Renew Ripon is a quiet shared space where it is OK not to be OK. Mental illness is rising and the pandemic & lockdown exacerbated this issue. Renew Ripon is for anyone who feels they might be struggling with life: loneliness, isolation, anxiety, confidence.
If you want to have a cuppa, a chat, try some mindful or reflective activities, or just find out what Renew Ripon is about pop in any time between 11.30 am and 1 .30 pm on a Monday during the day or between 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm on a Tuesday evening.
We don’t claim to have all the answers but we can point you in the direction of other professionals who might and you will find our team caring, supportive and willing to listen.
Every one is welcome to come and find a place to renew.
Our next meetings (including Renew Ripon – Walk, see below):
Thursday Lunch Club
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelation 3:20 NIV
Jesus asked us to dine with him and each other!
Thursday Lunch Club is open to anyone. It is a chance to meet and chat and of course be served with an amazing meal. We ask diners to make a donation of £4 for a main course; £8 for two courses or £10 for all 3 courses, this helps us cover our costs.
We have specially timed our lunch to enable diners to go to the Market held in Ripon every Thursday and also, if you would like, attend our midweek Holy Communion which we hold beforehand at 11.30 am. Of course, you don’t need to partake in either of these to come and enjoy a meal.
We are blessed to have Rick (from Valentinos) helping us with the food, so we are sure you will not be disappointed with the quality of the food. And it is a great place to come and chat and meet people.
For special meals, like our Christmas Lunch, we do need people to sign-up in advance. If doing this is a problem please call and leave a message with our Office on 01765 690930.
Our up and coming Thurday lunches are:
Ladies Group
We have a ladies group that meet for Social and Spiritual Growth at various times throughout the year. This group has been developed recently – please come back here to see what has been set in place.
Informal Men’s Breakfast
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.
We are currently meeting at the Cafe in Ripon Spa Gardens.
If you would like to know more please call Colin on 07906 259378 for more information.
