Who doesn't know someone in hospital?
 There’s a convenient way to get a cheery greeting to the hospitalized:  hospital volunteers deliver it.  Folk receiving these notes have mentioned how important they are.  Check out:  [Link] 

Food Bank:  Let’s fill those boxes and show gratitude to God by sharing with our neighbour the blessings we have been given.

Have you checked the parish’s Facebook page lately?  [Facebook].  More Holy Trinity reno pics.

There is good news.  This is palace moving day.  In England the traditional name for a bishop’s residence is palace.  Today Archbishop Edwards and family take up residence in their new “palace” in Grafton.  It’s way up high, on 3+ hillside acres well suited to developing an orchard, with a striking view down to the St John river.  There will be lots of deer.

Ernest Clarke has supplied this week’s photo attachments, from last Sunday at HT.  They include the old rugged cross from Holy Trinity’s roof.  If original, it would be nearly a century old, certainly the first public cross to be found in Baptist Hartland.
