Welcome to Holy Trinity Jesmond
We are a welcoming, evangelical, Anglican church with a diverse congregation gathered from
across Newcastle as well as the local community. As a church we seek to be opened up to
God and opened out to others. If you are new to Holy Trinity we would love to get to know
you, so please get in touch with any of the team - our details are overleaf. This summer we
look forward to holiday club, King David, a few of our favourite songs, and so much more...

THIS AUGUST... join us to
explore the Gospel According
to David!
Following on from his greatgrandmother, Ruth, David was a
man of contr asts: singlemindedly committed to God,
yet making some spectacular
mistakes in his life. A story of
big successes and big failures.
He was so very human and yet
is held up as a shining example
in the ‘Hall of Fame’ of Hebrews
11, a man after God’s heart.
We might remember him most
for his battle with Goliath, but
for much of his story, he either
lives in the shadow of his
brothers, or is constantly on the
run from a vengeful King Saul.
Even after becoming King of
Israel, David was engaged in
almost constant warfare to
defend the kingdom: a great
military conqueror, yet at times,
unable to conquer his own
desires and impulses.
Yet David leaves us with an
example of a passionate love
for God and, of course, dozens
of psalms, some of the most
touching, beautiful poetry ever
written. And through the best
of the life of David we hear
echoes of another: Jesus Christ,
the ‘Son of David’ who comes
as King to establish the new
kingdom of God, and through
whom the promises given to
Israel are ultimately fulfilled.
KIDSZONE:
During August we are trialling
new summer Sunday provision
for our children. Over the first
4 Sundays there will be
themed activities for all our
children in the one hall space,
apart from crèche, during part
of the morning service. So we
rest our invaluable CYPECS
teams this month, if you are
able to volunteer to help with
a session please speak to Mark
as soon as possible. Thank you!
Summer is a fantastic time of
year: sun, fun and relaxation.
The bitter chill is finally
shaken off, BBQs are dusted
off and fired up, lawns are
mowed, ice cream is
consumed and drinks are
iced. The summer warmth
gives us a new lease of
energy, driving us outside to
rejoice with friends and
family. At least that’s our
aspiration with our
unpredictable British weather!
The Psalms remind us that
God in his goodness created
and maintains the seasons
(Psalm 74). In this season of
warmth, let’s celebrate and
join in with creation that
continually ‘sings for joy
before the Lord’ (Psalm 98).
A WEEK
OF PRAYER
The Psalms provide a perfect
source of rich, deep, truthfilled songs to shed light and
give life in this summer time.
‘Make a joyful noise to the
Lord, all the earth. Serve the
Lord with gladness. Come
into his presence with
singing!’ Psalm 100.1-2
So this summer, for five
Sunday evenings in August,
we are exploring the psalms
together. Each Sunday, various
members of Holy Trinity will
share their favourite Psalm as
a talk, testimony or reflection.
Come and join our summer
celebrations as we encounter
God’s word together through
these ‘songs of the heart’!
SUNDAY 6th - SUNDAY 13th
JULY: please join us at different
points and places this week to give
thanks for Barney & Jude’s and to pray
for the future. Full details are available
on flyers at the back of church or at
www.htj.org.uk
THIS YEAR marks the centenary of the
start of the Great War. Over the next few
years a small team at Holy Trinity are
planning ways we and our local community
can call to mind the events of so long ago
which still exert a deep influence and hold
profound meaning for so many.
On the 100th anniversary of Britain joining the War, Monday
4th August at 7.30pm in Holy Trinity, there will be
an opportunity to reflect with an hour of readings, pictures,
prayers, music and silence. All are welcome.

BETH TASH is training
as a pioneer minister in
the Church of England,
and she will be on
extended placement
with us from September
until May 2015.
The nature of Beth’s placement means she
will be working with us for a significant
period each week. We have been asked if we
can provide her with board and lodging
during her placement. A contribution
towards the cost of this will be available. If
you have a spare room and might be
interested in offering it to Beth please
contact Alison in the office. Thank you!
THANK YOU to all who helped with
Christian Aid Week this year,
delivering, collecting and baking. We
raised a total
