Dear Friends,

Our Parish Church - and the Christian community based at Holy Trinity - are for all.

We are here to serve all who live and work within Rothwell.. 

Your church, near you, invites you, needs you.

 

I like this prayer:

O God, make the door of our church wide enough

to receive all who need human love and fellowship;

narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and strife.

Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block,

but rugged and strong enough for good to overcome evil.

Make the doorway of All Saints’ the entrance to your eternal Kingdom.

Amen.

 

The Christian Church would not be here today if St Peter and the other apostles had adopted an ‘its just for us’ approach!   Empowered by the Spirit St Peter left the safety of the upper room and addressed the crowds in Jerusalem.  Some of them were ‘cut to the heart’, responded, and were baptized, becoming part of the great, growing Christian movement.

 

It may be that you used to worship but stopped attending.  Perhaps you had a negative experience, life pressures hindered you from coming, major questions of Christian belief arose for you, or you just ‘got out of the habit’.  Whatever the cause we’d love to welcome you back!  Come as you are!

 

A special invitation to all readers:

Do come to our Harvest Festival services on September 26^th and our Harvest Supper on September 27^th. And don’t miss the Youth Brass 2000 Concert on September 25^th in aid of the Trinity Centre..

Blessings and prayers

John
