Dear Friends,
This Sunday marks the first day of Christian Aid Week. This is a charity which seeks to help people of all faiths and none who currently live in poverty through no fault of their own. The charity seeks to help people to live fruitful and fulfilling lives by helping them to become more self-sufficient in very challenging circumstances. As we all battle with climate change more and more people are finding it difficult to sustain life, and Christian Aid, through their agents, provide guidance and resources to improve conditions for many people. There will be an opportunity to donate this Sunday and next Sunday in church, but if you cannot come to church but wish to donate you could send your donation to the church either at Dunino or Holy Trinity.
Next Sunday we shall celebrate Holy Communion at Holy Trinity and of course, all members and friends will be most welcome at this service. If you would like Communion at home, please let your elder or the minister know, and this can be arranged.
On Thursday 2nd June at 11:00am in Holy Trinity we shall be holding a short ecumenical service of thanksgiving for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and of course everyone will be welcome to come to this.
Then on Sunday 12th June, which is Trinity Sunday, the Friends of Holy Trinity will be holding their AGM after the service in Holy Trinity. The Friends were set up to support the music of our worship in Holy Trinity and we are very privileged to have wonderful musicians in both our churches as well as a fine choir in Holy Trinity. Fine music, offered to God in worship, enhances that worship for everyone, and it is important that we support our musicians in every way we can. If you would like to become a ‘Friend’ please contact the minister or Katherine Hogg, the secretary who can give you all the details.
It was St Augustine who said, ‘He who sings prays twice’. Whilst not all of us can be in a choir or play a musical instrument, there are so many other imaginative ways in which we can all use our gifts and talents to give our best to God in worship and service. If you have any new ideas about what you and your church could be doing, please do let us know.
With love and blessings,
Marion
