LADIES' GUILD Meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 1.30pm.
For many years one of the projects of the Ladies Guild has been to take posies of flowers to patients at the Peter MacCullum Institute and more recently to residents at the Manningham Centre, as well as sending flowers to parishioners who are unwell.
Many of the Guild members also serve on the flower roster for the church. When we were searching for a suitable way of remembering our long serving member and President Joyce Fahey it was decided to have a new flower stand (above, left) made for the church.
The stand was made by one of Holy Trinity’s parishioners, Ken Barker, in Australian timber to tone with the existing woodwork in the church.
LADIES' AFTERNOON FELLOWSHIP Aims: For those who wish to meet with Christians to establish friendship and provide an opportunity for exploring the relevance of the Christian message in their everyday lives. Meetings are on the first Monday of the month at 1.30pm at Holy Trinity.
