NOTICES - Holy Trinity.

OUR PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK
Let us pray to God, who knows us better than we know
ourselves, and understands our world.
Lord, we know we are called to be the body of Christ;
make us worthy of that calling, fervent in all our prayer and
worship, loving, faithful and honest in our lives, so that the
whole Church displays what God is like.
Draw us closer: closer to the heart of God.
We pray for the grace and wisdom to care for this world
we have been given as our home; for perception in the
difficult decisions, and commitment to justice and peace.
Draw us closer: closer to the heart of God.
We pray for the homes of this parish, whose hopes and
struggles, sorrows and fears are already known to you. May
each household be blessed as we pray, and may your love
fill each life. This week we pray for our Parish Families: Joy
Dando, Pat & Alan Dawson, Margie Dawson, Rosemary
Dickinson and Glenys Dickson.
Draw us closer: closer to the heart of God.
We pray for all who do not yet know you, and all whose
hearts are poisoned with hate or weighed down with
despair. May your light scatter their darkness and bring them
hope and healing. In our parish we pray for: Victor Hull,
Graham Gibson, Vida Pietersen, Phyllis McKenzie, Gloria
Van Eeden, Mbali Kunene, Eunice Duckitt, Valerie Peckham,
Revds Dave & Margie Silva and Brian Blows, Friends of
the Parish: Cornelia Nel, Julie Kelly, Ricky Barron, and Michael Bester.
The Frail: Thelma Rafferty, Pat Hooey, and Alma Easton
Draw us closer: closer to the heart of God.
We pray for those who have died to this life and are born
into your heaven; comfort those who miss their physical
presence, and bring us all to share in the fullness of your life.
We remember with thanks the Years mind of: Doris Wood,
Helen Parkhurst, John Dunn, Arthur Hawley, Geoffrey Brown
and Frank Aitken.
Draw us closer: closer to the heart of God.
R.I.P. Malcolm Chatterton: Rest eternal grant unto him, O
Lord, may light perpetual shine upon him.
We give you thanks for all that points us towards the
beauty of your love, and draws us closer to you.
Merciful Father, accept these prayers for the sake of your
Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

unchanged, 8 have decreased their contribution
and 7 new planned givers were added. We thank
all those who have responded so generously to our
Stewardship appeal.
 Thank you to those who have responded to the
ministries in our parish. We continue to encourage
all parishioners to participate in the ministry groups
so that we may truly become a body that fully
exercises and exemplifies God’s gift to the God’s
church.
 Due to the added responsibility placed on the office
to remind ministers at our Eucharistic Services of
their Sunday duties, we in future encourage all
participants in our worship to please take
responsibility for doing their duties. We will no
longer be contacting you for duty. If in any doubt
please contact the office concerning your duty.

back of the church as you leave this morning.

this act of worship.

we will be celebrating the milestones of two family
members of the parish. Althea and Jerry Higham
their 50th anniversary and Jean Hulls 80th birthday. We have all been invited to join them for a
special tea.
