News from Holy Trinity Redgate

As we at Redgate look forward to 2012, we need to look back to quite an eventful 2011. For our charity, Imagine (when we collect in our boxes our loose change), Redgate has contributed the very
impressive £4,180 in the past year. A figure that will have made a huge difference to a great many children in Mozambique.

Our church community has also grown somewhat, in ways even a year or so ago would have been thought highly unlikely... with up to 70 children all enjoying themselves with gunge, glitter and pizza
while worshipping God in our Messy Church.

Looking at ourselves, in May, we celebrated our 19th anniversary, an occasion how many people thought Redgate would reach in the early days?

And September saw many of us explore one of the oldest Minsters in England, where we also had time to celebrate our own Eucharist.

So, as we look to the future, a future that is in our own hands, do we rest on our laurels? Or do we take the future in both hands? The future of Redgate is in our own hands.

However, Redgate only survives because of the congregation who week by week turn a school hall into a worshipping church. But we currently need more to step forward. Maybe you could read our Reading or lead our prayers once every few months? Or maybe help count the collection? Could you welcome people as they come in? Or maybe as a car driver, we are desperately short of someone who once a month would be able to collect someone who would otherwise be unable to join us for worship without transport.
