Hi everyone,
I hope that you are taking care in the heat these next few days and find somewhere cool to shelter until the weekend.
This Saturday is Rosanna’s ordination as a priest in St John’s Keynsham at 2pm. On Sunday it will be her first communion services, so please come along to celebrate with us at the High Littleton or Paulton services that morning.
We will also be continuing with our Romans series, as Jeremy begins to unpack the way that God’s grace leads us to hope in our lives. Again, 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.
Tonight we will be trying out Men in Shed at the Farrington Inn, so please join us to toast the time we have had there.
Big thanks to all who helped and joined in for the Father’s Day BBQ in Paulton last Sunday. It was a really lovely afternoon to hang out and have fun with eachother

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!

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
