Consideration is being given to our participation in YDHS Community Garden possible site on our land at the back of Holy Trinity. We welcome your feedback on this matter.

We would like to train someone to be sacristan at Holy Trinity. This role includes laundering sacramental linens and keeping a check on supplies of wine, wafers and candles.
Training of Eucharist Assistants will recommence in September
There are lots of jobs that need doing on Sundays at Holy Trinity perhaps you would be able to help read the scriptures; welcome people to church ; serve morning tea – just pitch in; collect the offering; count the offering; clearing away after the service – talk with Rev. Jo.
