Dear Friends,Holy Week Greetings to all!We have a full programme of services during Holy Week and over Easter in our AAA Benefice. Philip and Rachel from Holy Trinity together with Jenny from All Saints have been busy being scientists (Professor Prism, Dr Hope and Dr Ember respectively) at The Miracle Labs, St Giles Copmanthorpe this week. It’s been fun showing children and families how science can help us to understand the eternal truths of faith. We are looking forward to hosting the Archbishop at All Saints Appleton Roebuck on Good Friday. I hope he likes making Easter Gardens!Michael has written an Easter Thought for us all, and it’s attached to this email.REMINDER FOR HOLY TRINITY PEOPLE: The final date for closing the Electoral Roll is the 19th April (Easter Saturday) please ensure that Yvonne Cook has your application form by this date.

Dear friends, Lent is almost over and we are about to journey through Holy Week and Jesus’s sacrifice on the Cross for our sins, through to Easter Morning and the hope and joy of His resurrection. The Thought for the Week this week considers the pilgrim path we all take, through Lent but also through life. There is a lot going on in the AAAs and the wider ABCs in the next couple of weeks – see below. We are very happy at All Saints Appleton Roebuck to be welcoming ++Stephen to our Good Friday Gathering and Walk of Witness. If you have children or grandchildren between 3 and 11 then get ready for Miracle Labs, where some of us (including Vicar Geoff, Rachel and Philip) are dressing up as scientists to demonstrate cool experiments which link with Gospel truths! This will take place during Holy Week at St Giles Copmanthorpe every morning from Monday to Thursday 9:30 – 12:30. Details below. Rachel
Dear Friends, I hope that you are all enjoying the warmth, spring sunshine and the little lambs playing in the fields around us. We are reminded that Jesus is called the Lamb of God because he became a willing sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, and through what seemed to be defeat a stunning victory was won over sin and death. Michael has written a Thought for the Week (attached) encouraging us to keep alert and live in faith as we approach Christ’s Passion and his glorious resurrection. Keep going with your Lenten devotions and service!Romans 12:22 says: Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing and perfect will of God.Rachel xLAST DATE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE ELECTORAL ROLL AT HOLY TRINITY CHURCH IS 19TH APRIL 2025.I have attached a form to this email and paper copies can be collected from the table at the back of Holy Trinity Church.
