Trinity Sunday
God is a Trinity, with three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, living in perfect harmony .
The mystery of the Trinity is the foundation of our Christian faith.
If we use our minds and intellect to try and understand the Trinity,
it will remain a mystery but if we use our hearts it will always be a reality.

Thanks to the gallant men who put on last week’s “Ladies’ Night”.
It was terrific: another big success.
Thanks Guys, for all your hard work!
