At Holy Trinity we always celebrate the Trinity as our annual Birthday celebration.  This year was special as we celebrated our 150th anniversary. The celebrations started on the Saturday with an open day of the Church with exhibitions of the history of our Church.  This included some scary pictures of the first priests and of children attending school in the hall all sitting upright at attention.

As a newcomer to Holy Trinity I received a genuine warm welcome and very quickly felt a member of a loving Christian family.  I know Scott will find this too and it was also expressed in the preparation of  him being Licensed as our Vicar in Charge and contributions from the congregation in providing the  beautiful flowers and buffet.

It was a wonderful hour of celebration not only in the singing but pure heavenly joy underlying the prayers and words from our Bishop (complete with Mitre)  Audrey

 

Churches together are promoting their Shine week to bring together churches and strengthen communities around Bishop’s Stortford.   At Holy Trinity we joined in by hosting a church BBQ and end of summer fete on Sunday – and what a glorious day it turned out to be.

Well, we finally wore him down and, with much trepidation and many misgivings, Fr. John finally relented and agreed to hold a Pet Service.
 
It was the first for many years and we were delighted to see the Church full of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a gecko.
 
And what a service they and their owners were treated to!
