Holy Trinity Church
Prayer Spaces in Holy Trinity Church
Each term the school community is invited to the church for a 'Prayer Spaces' event.
Prayer spaces enable children of all faiths and none, to explore big life questions, spirituality and faith in a safe, creative and interactive way.
Taking a broadly Christian perspective as a starting point, prayer spaces give children an opportunity to develop skills of personal reflection and to explore prayer in an open, inclusive and safe environment.
The approach does not proselytise and purposely allows pupils to make their own meaning and to draw their own conclusions.
Celebrating Holy Trinity Church being 150 years old
The school community celebrated with the church community their 150th anniversary in May 2024, for a week of special services and activities. The headteacher, parents and children joined in the Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving where the church clock was rededicated and was followed by a wonderful meal shared by all.
Every pupil was able to experience a 'walk through time' where they were able to explore the history of the church, search for carved mice on the 'Mice Trail' and even try the church bells and play the organ. On the Saturday, the church community welcomed everyone to a Family Fun afternoon. This involved a BBQ, refreshments, live music, a Dog Show and fun 'n games. A brilliant time was had by all!
The week ended with a special 'Songs of Praise' service with Jonathan French and James Halstead.
Harvest
Harvest services took place in church in October and it was lovely that families were able to join the school community. The food donations were gratefully received by local foodbanks. The children spoke about Christian Aid and helping families through Harvest Hope project. We are so grateful for the £106.21 donations which have been well received by Chrisitan Aid.
