Thank you!
We wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all the church family as our time at HT comes to an end. Thanks so much for the loving messages, earnest prayers and for the unbelievably generous gifts you have given us - we were blown away by your kindness and love. We’ll always be praying for HT and trust that, by God’s grace, you will flourish as a fellowship in the coming years. We’d like to stay in touch with you all.
God Bless, Paul, Elizabeth, Jonathan, Joel and Ben.
On-line Holiday Club 2020
In the final week of August (25th-28th) we plan to run Holiday Club - online! Bookings are now being taken online - follow this link: https://www.holytrinityspital.org/holiday-club-2020
Morning service
Following the easing of lockdown restrictions, we are now live-streaming the 10.30am service. There will be a welcome screen live from 10.15am with the service being live at 10.30am. You will be able to access the live-stream from "This week" page on the church website or on our YouTube channel.
Zoom chat groups following the morning service
Following a suggestion at the last PCC meeting, we are setting up Zoom meetings on Sundays at 12 noon to allow people the opportunity to have a post-service chat and catch up with others in our fellowship. Contact Lukas if you need the meeting details.
Chile Mission Fund
£500 has been sent( via Tearfund) to Bolivia to help the abuse of you young people and women suffering violence. The money was raised by selling goods and donations. Thank you to all who made this gift possible. Lin McGrath.
Christianity Explored
We all get one life to live and deep down we’re asking, ‘What’s it all about?’
Christianity Explored gives you time and space to think through the big questions of life, and to consider the person at the heart of the Christian faith - Jesus Christ. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect of Jesus' life, and of our lives. In it we work through Mark’s Gospel, one of the life stories of Jesus found in the Bible.
We’ll run the course ‘socially distanced’ using Zoom. It is open to absolutely anyone; for those who want to further investigate the claims of Jesus; for those who may have questions they’ve never quite resolved and for those who just want a reminder of what we believe.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been coming to church all your life, or whether Christianity is brand-new to you – you’ll be welcome.
If you’re interested, contact us at got.questions@holytrinityspital.org and we will get back to you. If you think this course will help someone you know, encourage them to contact us. We will arrange timings and dates of meetings to suit those who respond. The course requires a time commitment of about 1 1⁄2 hours for each weekly session (with some reading of a portion of Mark’s gospel in-between). It runs for seven weeks.
South American prayer update - Peru
Peru has now confirmed 313,000 cases of the virus and 11,133 deaths.
70% of people in Peru work informally, this means they have nothing to fall back on in a situation like this. Many work in the markets or the fields, or just look for work each day. It is hard for people to find food each day - please pray that God will provide for their needs and help them find support from local projects and churches. Please pray for a drop in Coronavirus cases. Thank you Lin McGrath.
