Welcome to all worshippers at Holy Trinity today 
Welcome to everyone this morning, particularly if you are visiting or new. Do please introduce yourself to someone. If you would like to know more about any of our activities or services please ask or check out our website or like our Facebook page. 

A particular welcome to Alison and Kerry and their family and friends, here today for James’s baptism into the Holy Trinity Church Family.

This week we pray for:
•	The suffering in our world, refugees, the people of Bangladesh after the flooding, the people of Yemen after the bombings, and the people of Eastern and Southern Africa facing drought.	      
•	Our country in the aftermath of the referendum and our fellow Europeans as everyone looks for the next steps.
•	The work of aid agencies and charities, particularly the Encephalitis Society, our focus charity this month
•	All taking exams at the moment.
•	Those who are sick and naming those who have asked for our prayers: George Noakes, John Evans and David Wyle. Those waiting for operations and treatments, that they might have peace.
•	Those caring for loved ones, that they will have the strength and patience they need.
•	The family of Jo Cox and all who mourn loved ones.

Are you, a member of your family, or a friend, in special need of prayer?

Family Olympic Challenge – Seer Green Baptist Church and Holy Trinity invite everyone to a great fun family event on Sunday 24th July 4.30-6pm at Seer Green School. This will be a decathlon event with pizza and lollies to finish.

Big Dreams – Our holiday club this year is called ‘Big Dreams’.  The dates are 23th to 25th August. Please prayerfully consider what you could do to support this brilliant outreach event. Last year we had over 100 children and it is a wonderful example of Christians working together for the sake of the Gospel. 

House Groups: one of the best ways to grow in discipleship of Jesus is through meeting with others and learning together. Cassa is thinking of starting a new house group after the success of our Lent groups to add to the groups we already have (please see info in the Parish Magazine or the back of Church). If you think you might like to join a house group please have a word with her so she can get an idea of dates/times/frequency etc.
