On  Sunday 8th November, Remembrance Sunday, we read out the names of  2,742 men from Hull who died in the First World War.

The names are listed in the ‘Golden Book’, which is housed permanently in Holy Trinity, as part of the WW1 memorial at the far East end of church. The book was compiled in the aftermath of the horrendous conflict which claimed the lives of so many men. Hardly a family in Hull was left untouched by the devastation. Despite the number of names in the book, we are aware that it is not a comprehensive list because of the way the compilation was carried out.  Anyone is welcome to arrange to view the Book and check that a name or names is present. We can add names, where suitable evidence is provided.

For more details, please contact the Revd. Canon Dr. Neal Barnes, the Vicar of Holy Trinity, Hull on 01482 224460 or 07581 280785 or NBarnes@holytrinityhull.com

Once again between November 3rd and 29th we welcome Martin Waters poppy installation and he writes:-

This year I wanted to think about the men and women who died at sea. The Royal Navy. The Merchant Navy. Trawlermen who served their country from Hull and other ports. The men and women travelling from one war zone to another and were attacked and sunk on route. The artwork suggests the idea of drowning, perhaps at sea, but it very well could be drowning and suffocating in the mud and gas of the first world war.
This made more poignant as it is 100 years since the use of gas in the First World War.

The Vicar of Hull’s historic Holy Trinity Church today (September 29) paid tribute to the local businessman who is bringing music legend Rod Stewart to Hull and thanked him for nominating the church’s transformation project to benefit from the show.

The Rev Canon Dr Neal Barnes has written to MKM Executive Chairman David Kilburn congratulating him on his “coup” in securing the star’s performance at the KC Stadium next year.

Dr Barnes told Mr Kilburn everyone at Holy Trinity had been “bowled over” by his generosity in donating the event’s proceeds to Holy Trinity’s development project and Hull’s Daisy Appeal.

This last summer I have had the privilege of study leave. I spent a couple of weeks of it in Liverpool, meeting many different people and finding out what difference that city had experienced in and since 2008 when Liverpool was the European Capital of Culture. It became obvious that it has had a major impact, and this gives me hope for Hull in 2017. I especially wanted to find out how churches had engaged and used their Capital of Culture to bless their communities and share something of the love of God, and the richness of the creative gifts that he gives to us.
