Donations are welcome for MARAH and the FOOD BANK. There is a collection point at the back of church.. 

MARAH APPEAL – Christmas is fast approaching! We are asking for large boxes of biscuits and chocolates (such as Celebrations or Quality Street). They are often on special offer at this time of year. If you can donate any of these, we would be very grateful. Also, would anyone like to bake us a Christmas cake? It can be any size with icing, please, but not necessarily decorated, but strictly NO alcohol. Just let me know if you can help. Thank you! Jackie Natt.

HELP NEEDED – We are looking for some homemade cakes to be provided for refreshments being served throughout the day at our annual Christmas Craft Fayre. If you can help provide a homemade (only) cake – ingredients named, please drop off in the Porch Room on Friday 28 November. Thank you

CRAFT FAIR, 29 November 2025 – We need volunteers to take ticket money at the Craft Fair from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., working in pairs for an hour or two. We also need help with clearing up at 3:30 p.m. If you can assist, please contact Stephen Jarvis at 01453 884545. Thank you.

CHURCH CHRISTMAS CARD 'TREE' – From Sunday, 7 December, share Christmas joy by writing a festive message to hang on the church tree instead of sending individual cards (which often linger in pigeonholes!). You’re also invited to donate to one of Holy Trinity’s Christmas charities (yet to be decided) or a charity of your choice. This spreads warmth, fosters togetherness, and reduces paper use. Britons send enough Christmas cards each year to circle the globe 500 times!

CHURCH VACUUMING – Will take place on Monday, 24 November at 2 p.m.

BIBLE READING FELLOWSHIP – Daily notes for January to February are available for collection from the pigeonholes. If you would like to see samples of the different products available, please contact mandyjutsum@btinternet.com Tel. 01453 882477

FESTIVE CHURCH PARTY – You are warmly invited to our Festive Church Party on Monday 16 December at 12 noon. Join us for festive nibbles, good company, and plenty of Christmas cheer as we celebrate the season together. If you’d like to come, please add your name to the sign-up sheet at the back of the church, or contact us at minch.churchwardens@gmail.com. We look forward to celebrating with you!

MINCHLIGHTS – Join us for Minchinhampton's Christmas Tree Lighting! Come and celebrate the start of the festive season on Sunday, 30 November, from 4.30 p.m. in the town centre. Enjoy carols, a festive bar and plenty of Christmas cheer. The tree will be switched on at 5.00 p.m., don’t miss the moment! Following the lighting, you’re warmly invited to the Advent Carol Service at Holy Trinity Church at 5.30 p.m..We look forward to starting Advent together as a community.
