Weekly Newsletter 

Dear Church Family,

I hope you’ve all been blessed by the current sermon series on Jesus’s letters to the seven churches in Revelation.  There’s been lots to learn about Jesus’ divine nature and his deep love and concern for those churches.  What a contrast with his arrival on this earth as a tiny baby in a stable!  Let’s not forget Jesus’ sacrifice and obedience in leaving his Father in heaven to save us from the consequences of our sin!  It’s good news worth sharing with those who don’t know Jesus yet!

So…please pray for everyone who is helping with HT’s outreach stall at the Sittingbourne Christmas Lights switch-on event on Saturday 14 November!  Lord, we want them to have lots of opportunities to share the hope we have in Jesus!

We have good news!  The advertisement for our new vicar is out!  If you’d like to see it, visit Canterbury Diocese’s website and hit the clergy vacancy button.

Here are some updates for you…

  • Our Remembrance Sunday services will be on 8 November.   Two minutes’ silence will be observed at 11am.  If you arrive at that time, please wait quietly in the porch until our Doors team ask you to come in.

  • Join us for our final Women’s Breakfast of the year on Saturday 28 November, from 9:00–11:00am at Holy Trinity Church.  Our theme will be “The Greatest Gift – Celebrating the Hope and Joy of Christmas.”

    It will be a lovely opportunity to come together for breakfast, fellowship, worship and reflection as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas and the greatest gift of all — Jesus.

    As part of our gathering, we would also love to bless women in our local community by supporting a local women’s shelter. We invite everyone attending to bring along a small, new and unopened beauty or toiletry item to donate.

     We look forward to sharing a lovely morning together! 

  • CAP Christmas gifts – as in previous years, we will be collecting Christmas gifts for our CAP families.  If you’d like to donate a gift, please have a chat with Laura to find out what is needed.

  • Swale Foodbank donations – you can contact the Swale Foodbank via their Facebook page or by emailing them at info@swale.foodbank.org.uk to find out how to donate to Christmas hampers.  And don’t forget to donate items in the usual way at HT or at local collection points, as demand is high!

With love and prayers, 

Tina and the Staff Team
