AFTERNOON SERVICE with Holy Communion. The next afternoon service will be on Tuesday, 5 August at 2.30pm. It will be led by Rev Dr Sandy Forsyth - in the Bill McDonald Hall [via West Mayfield level access] at NT - Mayfield. Everyone always most welcome – please join us! Tea and refreshments follow (until 3.45pm approx).
BBQ - Butties, Baking And Quiche The parish magazine notified a BBQ on Sunday 17 August after the 10:30 service to mark both the return to school for many families and Sandy and Joy’s departure as that day will be Sandy’s last preaching as our minister. Some of us met to work through the practicalities and concluded that rather than a traditional BBQ, given the potential numbers involved, we would have a picnic with a selection of sandwiches, home baking and quiche (and some sausage rolls). So save the date. In the next email we will invite you to indicate whether you intend to come along so we can pitch the catering at the right level. Meantime, please note the date and please email Fellowship@newingtontrinity.org if you are able to come along. Please also let us have any dietary requirements so we can cater accordingly.
SAVE THE DATE - DOORS OPEN DAY - Saturday 27 September - 10am - 4pm Theme - "Architectural Heritage: windows to the Past, Doors to the Future" we are taking part in Doors Open Day again this year and look forward to welcoming the public to our Mayfield site. The theme is particularly apt as we have lots to share about our beautiful windows and building. Please can you email fellowship@newingtontrinity.org if you are able to help for an hour during the day. We will need welcomers and guides. There will be more about our plans at the end of the summer. In the meantime all in the Fellowship team wish you all a happy, healthy and sunny summer!!
