our young people

The presence of young people is a gift to the community

At Holy Trinity and St Mary’s, we have a vibrant youth contingent in our church community.

The contribution and value that they bring to our Parish life is incredibly important. We have lots of opportunities for people of all ages. Please read below to see what we have on offer. If you would like to know more or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Pippa, our Children and Families Coordinator.

the children’s area during sunday morning worship

During all our services children are always welcome. They are part of our church family and our families with children are encouraged to stay in church for the service. We have a dedicated area in The Children’s Chapel (formerly St Luke’s Chapel) for the children with toys, books and seating for parents and speakers bring the service to you so you do not miss anything. We always have our rainbow table stocked full of crafting materials and there are bags of toys that you can take into the nave of the church should you wish to be there instead.
