On Monday 2nd September 2024 a dedicated team of volunteers organised and ran a very successful coffee morning in Trimpley Village Hall under the banner of MacMillan Coffee Mornings.So many people came to support that extra chairs and tables, needed to be fetch out and laid up with tablecloths, cups and saucers.A fabulous total of £264.20 was raised on the day with more to come through gift aid and possibly online.Thank you to all who came and especially to all who organised.
On Thursday 14th March 2024 Rob Whitehouse of Let's Waste Less came along to Holy Trinity for a Q&A session encouraging members of the local community to put less into their black wheelie bins.His main message was to reduce what we throw away by being better organised in our buying and in portioning what we cook so that we don't waste food which is the biggest proportion of rubbish. He gave advise on reusing, including taking advantage of getting things fixed at places like repair cafes. We were also grateful to take possession of a new compost bin so that flowers from graves, grass cuttings and other greenery from the regular rake and Cake churchyard care group can be ploughed back into the ground in due course.And, as always at Holy Trinity, there was plenty of hot drinks and homemade cakes for everyone to tuck into.
December 2023 started with a wonderful concert by Grace Notes, a female voices choir. A wide range of music was performed including many well known Christmas carols and songs as well as some pieces composed by the choir's musical director, Morfudd Sinclair. The Carol Service, Crib Service and Christmas morning Holy Communion each saw over 20 people coming together and celebrating. It was a joyous time.
On Thursday 26th October 2023, Holy Trinity was full of people enjoying a wonderful and wide ranging concert of cello and violin duets.Cellist Rebecca Rose and Violinist Julie MacRae caught people's emotions with music from Mozart to Queen.The audience was then treated to an extra few piano pieces from 14 year old Luke Pender, a student at the Junior Conservatoire, Birmingham.Thanks to everyone who helped organise the event. The proceeds are to boost the Bell Fund which is dedicated to enable us to restore the bellcote and get the bell ringing again.
