Holy Trinity Newsletter 


29 August 2004

 

 

A warm welcome to all today especially if you are a visitor. We trust you enjoy your stay in Brussels and your worship with us today. Please join us after the morning service for coffee and drinks down in the Hall. You are most welcome to stay around and talk. If you are new please make yourself known especially to the clergy; we would be grateful if you would fill in a card at the Welcome Table.

A fully staffed crèche for babies up to 2 years old, is available during the 10.30 service in the Charles Le Jeune Centre. If you would like to make use of it, an usher will show you where it is located.

ASSOCIATE CHAPLAIN’S NOTES

Our Autumn Programme is now available covering the period September to December. Please do take one. There are a number of special events planned for the autumn to which everyone is invited. Please take time to put these dates in your diaries / agendas now.

The mission focus for August is the Urban Development Project, Nairobi, Kenya. We welcome Isabelle Prondzynski who will be talking about UDP in both our morning and evening services today. She has also brought a number of gift items which will be for sale afterwards during coffee in the Walker Hall. The loose plate collections at all four services today will go towards the work of the UDP, Nairobi.

Did you know that the INNO car park is accessible to members of Holy Trinity on Sunday mornings from approximately 10.15 to 13.00? Using this facility frees up spaces on the street for visitors and can also avoid unpleasant surprises. The local traffic wardens have recently been very conscientious in their duties. Council has decided that the charge for the use of the car park should be €2 as from the beginning of September.

Dyslexia International Tools and Technologies (DITT) - a non-profit organisation, all-volunteer, working for children with learning difficulties, urgently seeks able French and German translators and researcher volunteers - to work from home or in our offices at 1 rue Defacqz, B-1000 Brussels Tel/fax: 02/537 70 66 or admin@ditt-online.org Web site: www.ditt-online.org Please kindly contact  us  immediately!   Thank you.                              Judith Sanson for DITT

Be alert! Parents of little children would be most grateful if anyone who sees the door to the platform lift open during services would be kind enough to close it when the lift is not in use, as the barrier is not sufficient to prevent toddlers from having a nasty fall. We are reviewing the options to make this safer.

Free of charge! 3-seater sofa bed, mainly green with coloured diamond pattern available for collection now. If you are interested, please contact Norma on 02/640 23 17.

Flowers every Sunday can be offered in memory of loved ones. Total contributions or part payment of the weekend's flowers’ costs are welcome. Please contact Sue Cox on 02/767 29 11.

The Prayer Chain welcomes requests for prayer for any situation with complete confidentiality. Please pass your request to Sue Cox 02/767 29 11 or cottoncox@hotmail.com or to Jennifer Le Jeune 010/61 48 85.
