Dear All,

I write to tell you all that the clergy have just received from the Archbishops office having consulted with the government that

ALL public worship be suspended as from now.

Therefore, there will be no public worship at church until further notice because of the COVID-19 virus.

There is a notice on the church door of Holy Trinity as there will be in many of our churches throughout the land. Please pass the word around to people who are not on email.

Many of us were expecting this and have been dreading it. However, we must be strong in our faith and know that all is in God’s hands. We must also stay safe and take the necessary precautions recommended. We take one day at a time.

Please email, ring or let me know of any additions to the prayer list so that I can pray for them.

It is my intention to offer a private Eucharist and prayer in church alone but on behalf of the congregation and parish once per week.  It is important that the parish know that the priest is praying for them and that our congregation can feel God's comfort through this very challenging period.

All our readers are encouraged to look on the Holy Trinity FACEBOOK page for the DAILY PRAYER which we are all encouraged to say throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. Facebook can be accessed at the bottom of this page.

God bless everyone

Father Andrew
