Hi everyone,
We are getting deep into Romans now, covering chapters 6 and 7 this Sunday, so prepare for some serious questions about just how far God is prepared to go for you! We had a wonderful time last weekend celebrating Rosanna’s ordination and first communion services, and this weekend we reach out with the Paulton Party in the Park on Saturday and all our family services on Sunday, plus Engine Room in Paulton 8pm Sunday evening. Please do pray for us, and with us as we head out to share God’s love, and please invite people along to all the events and services so they have a chance to join in and encounter God for themselves.
If you want to volunteer with us at Party in the Park please message me. Thanks to all those who have already signed up.
As before, I would recommend catching up on the sermons and also watching the next home group video if you have time (available here), we can then discuss this stuff at Men in Shed or the Thursday bible study.
Also coming up in Paulton is the Board Games night, Friday 10th 5-9pm, come join us for fun, games and tasty snacks.
There is still time to donate to the re-ordering in Paulton. If you are in a position to support this transformation of the worship space in the church then you can use the details below:

COMING UP...
Knit and Natter meet in the back room of Paulton church on the first Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday 1 st July 2026.
Please note that there is no meeting in June.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join the group, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a cake and have a good natter!
TGIF is on every Friday and Monday from 10am to 11.30am for coffee, cake, playtime and good chatting - you can find the latest details on Facebook here. (Not during the school holidays)
Morning prayer is taking place at 9.30am Wednesday in Paulton and Thursday in High Littleton. It begins with 15 minutes of quiet reflection, followed by Common Worship morning prayer.
The Church of England have updated their Morning Prayer APP. You can now listen to morning prayer from the app. I would encourage you all to take this up as a daily practice, it is a great way to grow a pattern of prayer and learn the rhythm of responses each day.
You can download the app here: https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/apps/daily-prayer
view the live service and re-watch previous services here: https://www.twitch.tv/holytrinitychurchpaulton
Every blessing to you all.
Adam
