Last night there was a thunderstorm. Rain was falling heavily and thunder rumbling around.

At the end of April a similar storm caused damage to the roof at Trinity Church – just where the lightening rod comes down.

The damage has been repaired to keep the elements out.

Last Sunday (Pentecost or Whit Sunday) the visiting preacher was head of the Methodist Northampton District( a large area stretching from Oxford to Peterborough with Northampton near the centre). Trinity is both Methodist and URC, and is also part of the Wessex URC district stretching through much of the South West. So one way and another has much of the country covered.

Tomorrow is Trinity Sunday and Reverend Richard Bittleston, who leaves Trinity in August, will be preaching on ‘The Minimalist Christian’. And next Saturday, June 21st 2014, will be the Trinity Summer Fair. Stalls to include: Cakes and preserves, Tombola, Raffle, Jewellery, Toiletries, Plants, Tea/Coffee and light refreshments, Children’s activities,and Ice cream with a smile.
