Fundraising for St John's
St John's is fundraising for a new integrated heating and lighting system. This is not inexpensive, so if you can
help by reviewing your regular giving or through a one-off donation we would be very grateful. We are looking
to match-fund for applications to trusts to cover the cost.

Holy Trinity is open for private prayer on Mondays from 4.00 to 6.00 p.m.

Prayer

Maranatha!
Open our eyes to the dignity of all people
And our ears to the cries of the earth.
Maranatha!
Let us walk in solidarity with the poor
And cleanse our world from oppression.
Maranatha!
Let us shout out for justice for all
And renew our hope for change.
Maranatha!
The Lord is coming
Let us share the Good News!
