NOTICES FOR THIS WEEK!Lent at Holy Trinity Tuesdays – Compline at 8pm Discussion Group – Every Thursday from 6th March, 7.30pm at the Vicarage, looking at the Creed. Stations of the Cross – This half hour devotional service will begin this Friday at 6.00pm. Pancake Party – A huge ‘thankyou’ to all who helped make Tuesday’s pancake party such a success. It was greatly enjoyed by all. Servers Robes – between them, Fr James and Fr Julian have been able to procure some more albs, especially shorter ones for the younger servers, and also scapulae (tabards like the choir’s) in the liturgical colours. Those who have worshipped at HT for a long time will remember that before moving to cassock albs, the servers used to wear coloured apparel on the armices, worn around the neck under traditional albs, so it is a nod to that tradition! Although second-hand, they are in good condition and will enhance our worship.
