Bishop re-opens refurbished church

By Philippa Walker, Holy Trinity Church warden

It was truly wonderful to combine the grand reopening of our church with a visit from the Right Reverend Stephen Lake the Bishop of Salisbury. What an amazing coincidence that both should come together at exactly the right time. The scaffolding and building work has been on-going at Holy Trinity Church for well over a year, affecting churchgoers, the Weymouth community and visitors to our beautiful town, because of the prominent position the Holy Trinity holds as the harbour church of the town. Our Parochial Church Council and Church Wardens worked hard to get the work started and building contractors David R Whites’ Robert and Russell worked even harder to get the work done and the church

WELCOME: The Right Rev Stephen Lake at Holy Trinity Church in Weymouth returned to its former glory.

When we heard that the Bishop of Salisbury was to take a Sunday service for us, we were honoured, and it was all hands on deck to offer him the welcome we all wanted to give.

Our thanks to the cleaning and catering team from David Whites, for pulling out all the stops ahead of his visit.

The Bishop arrived on a glorious sunny day and recalled earlier visits to the church, most notably that his training essays for ordination were marked by Reverend Richard Franklin, who was vicar of Holy Trinity between 1994 and 2016. Come and join us for Said Eucharist at 8am or Sung Eucharist at 10am every Sunday.

The Bovington Military Wives Choir will be joining the Holy Trinity Primary School Choir on Friday, April 28 at 7.30pm. Tickets will be on sale soon.
