It's the Revd Willie Nixon's first Sunday with us as our new Rector, and he'll be preaching at all our services in Holy Trinity and in St Patrick's. If you've never been to church before, haven't been for a while, or if we see you every week, tomorrow is the beginning of a new season for our church family and we'd love you to be part of it!

“Give Jesus another hearing”, says Bishop Stuart Bell Our Bible Week speaker urges us to avoid complacency and expect the unexpected as we gather to study Jesus’ parables next week.

Two opportunities to join us for worship on Willie's first day!

At 10:30am, we'll gather around God's Word and Table for Holy Communion in the Side Chapel at Holy Trinity.

And at 7:30pm, we'll meet for Midweek Prayer. Willie called us to prayer last night, reminding that it is the foundation for everything, and inviting us to come this evening and see what God does when His people pray!

An evening full of faith, hope, love - and so much joy - as the Revd Willie Nixon was instituted as our new Rector!

Thank you so much to everyone who made yesterday evening possible - by taking part in the Service, leading us in worship, serving teas, and by doing so many other practical things yesterday and in the lead up to it!
