Collect for Ninth Sunday after Trinity

Almighty God, who sent your Holy Spirit to be the life and light of your Church: open our hearts to the riches of your grace, that we may bring forth the fruit of the Spirit in love and joy and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Whilst the office is closed we shall try and maintain a reduced version of the emailed Newsletter with relevant information. Please do get into the habit of referring to the Benefice Website www.holytrinityandstmargarets.co.uk for information on events and other services.

Out of respect for people’s privacy we are not publishing details for prayer requests online where their personal information could be seen by anyone around the world. We shall share prayer requests during the intercessions and trust that you will be praying for those issues of which you are aware.

Thank you for your patience and I’m happy to receive any feedback on vicar@holytrinityandstmargarets.co.uk

Intercessory Prayer – Booklets  On Monday 22 July  we held a training session reflecting together on how we prepare and lead the Intercessions during our services. This was a very positive session but a number of people had indicated that they couldn’t come. If you would have liked to attend but were unable to please let Samuel know and we can explore putting on another session later in the Summer/Autumn.

At that training Samuel produced a booklet of reflections on intercessory prayer. Please keep an eye out for some of these being made available at the back of Church, and if you’d like a copy please let us know and we can arrange a copy for you.

Exploring the Apostles Creed    From Wednesday the 31 July each week through to 28  August you are warmly invited to come and join us for a course which shall be ‘exploring the Apostle’s Creed’. Was it the Apostles who wrote it? What are the biblical ideas which it is summarising? On the floor of the entrance to St Margaret’s the stone reads “Creedo”; “I believe”. Let us reflect together on what – and who – we believe in.  Location: The Sanctuary, St Margaret’s Parish Rooms  Time: 7:30 pm

St. Margaret’s Tygre Club:  We are in Church at the start of the 9.30am service and then cross to The Sanctuary during the first hymn for singing, a Bible story and craft activities.
