Family Service

Our family service is an informal act of worship which lasts for just half an hour held on the first Sunday of every month.  People of all ages attend regularly and younger children enjoy arriving early to colour in pictures relating to the theme of the service.

Our famous "hare window" provided the idea for a mascot.  "Holly, Trinny and Mel" are cuddly toy hares, admired by the children and lovingly looked after by willing volunteers during each service.

Meet the 'Gang'

"Holly, Trinny and Mel"

The service leaders have great fun thinking up unusual ways of presenting the theme of the day. Sparklers were given out after the All Saints Day service last year, to represent light being taken into the world.  Fifty red balloons (symbolising tongues of fire), each with a message attached, were released at the end of the Pentecost service in 2006.  A little over an hour later a woman near Clacton phoned the Rectory, delighted to have received greetings from Long Melford!  At our first ever Family Service, there were sheep and lambs in Church (yes, real ones!) to help us think about the Good Shepherd.

We are always delighted to welcome both regulars and visitors, Church members and non members, children and adults.   Our family service includes music, a reading, an informal address and some short prayers.  We meet on the first Sunday of each month at 9.30am in Holy Trinity Church .
