Cold Ashton’s Children’s Area:
Those who have been into Holy
Trinity Church, Cold Ashton, in recent months
will have noticed a change
taking place at the back of the church. Two of the
children’s pews have been
moved and a new children’s area has been
created. This has been the
result of many people’s work but of particular note
are the three painted murals
which decorate the sides of the new area. These
are the work of Madeline,
Chris, Faith and Anya Sparks. We are grateful to
them for their contribution –
it is certainly worth a visit!
Coffee Evening
The Coffee Evening held on 4th
August was well attended and raised £188 for
Holy Trinity Church funds. The
PCC would like to thank all those who attended
and supported the evening -
‘thank you’.
Jean Purnell Treasurer.
