Weekly Announcements
Thought for the week from the Vicar … Today is Trinity Sunday and the Trinity is the heart of the Christian faith: one God, known in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This mystery isn’t a puzzle to solve but a truth to receive with wonder. The Father creates and sustains all things, pouring out love as the source of life. The Son, Jesus Christ, reveals that love in human form, walking among us, teaching, healing, and giving Himself on the cross. The Holy Spirit breathes that same divine life into us today, guiding, comforting, and empowering the Church.
The Trinity shows that God’s very nature is relationship. Love is not something God does; it is who God is. And because we are made in God’s image, we are invited into that loving communion, drawn into the life of the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Spirit. The Trinity reminds us that faith is always shared, never solitary.

LITTER PICK on 21st June – as part of the application to receive National Heritage Lottery Funding
for the repairs to the tower stonework, we were asked to participate in activities that would help improve our local environment. On Sunday 21st June at 10.00am we are going to have a litter pick around the town. Items such as gloves, litter pickers etc will be provided. We will then have our Family Service, followed by hot dogs and ice cream from an ice cream van.
We are so grateful to the generosity of the Nation Heritage Lottery Fund – some £250,000 – let us show our gratitude by making a difference in helping to clean up a part of our beloved town which needs a bit of tender loving care.
This litter pick is for all our parishioners
