Dear Church Family

Last Sunday we were reminded about the presence of Christ in the storms we face in life and, whatever our current situations may be, Jesus encourages us to search our hearts to be able to say, “It is well with my soul.”  What a blessing it is to know if we believe in Jesus we will spend eternity with him!

Another landmark in the service was the blessing and gifts we gave to our students preparing to go to university this September. Please pray that they will know God’s presence as they settle and make friendships as they begin their studies.  May they shine for Jesus!  

We also want to say thank you to all who contributed to our church lunch.  It was a great time of fellowship together and we even had to use extra tables!  Thanks again to the team behind the scenes who made it all run so smoothly!

Here are a few things you might like to know about:

  • Our next Women’s Breakfast will be at 9am - 11am on Saturday, 27 September in Holy Trinity.  Come along for fellowship, worship, teaching and a tasty breakfast!

  • Our Harvest Service will be on Sunday, 5 October when we’ll be collecting food donations for Swale Foodbank and gifts of money for TearFund.  We’ve attached the latest Foodbank shopping list and copies are also available at the back of the church.

  • Are you interested in decorating HT for Harvest?  If so, the church will be open between 9.30am and midday on Saturday, 4 October for you to bring some flowers and decorate one of our window ledges.

  • We’re starting to think about our next adult baptism service – if you would like to be baptised, or would like to have a chat about the possibility, please email us at office@htsb.church or talk with one of the Staff team at church.

  • St Bartholomew’s Church, Bobbing are holding a coffee, tea and cake morning in support of MacMillan Cancer Support from 9am – midday on Wednesday, 24 September.  They hope you can join them to support this very worthy cause!  You can also donate online at https://cm25.macmillan.org.uk/fundraising/CM25023816

With love and prayers,

Gill and your Staff Team
