On the 2nd Sunday of the month, we are offering a service for children and young families. This comes as a response to a request by a family in Lane End who have been to Holy Trinity in the past and have asked for a service along the lines of our Messy Church events.
The PCC and many others are delighted that we have been asked to do this so Jo Law, Graham Cartwright, Sheila and Judy have put their heads and technology together to hopefully produce a service which will attract and appeal to both those who are familiar with Holy Trinity and new families too. The service will begin at 10.00 am and will last around 30-40 minutes. It will be a different style of worship and will naturally focus more on the children. We are hoping it will be fun and at the same time bring bible stories, and the love of God to all, especially to those who may be new to the Christian faith.
WE WELCOME OUR TEAM RECTOR AND MISSIONAL TEAM VICAR (HOUSE FOR DUTY)
OUR CHURCH AND COMMUNITY
Holy Trinity Church is the parish church of Lane End serving a mixed village of about 4,000 people. We are part of a Team ministry including the nearby smaller village of Cadmore End, a slightly larger village of Stokenchurch and the nearby smaller village of Ibstone. We share a Team Rector, Rev'd Mark Ackford, who is living in the vicarage in Stokenchurch, and a Missional Team Vicar, Rev'd Philip Smith, who is living in the vicarage in Lane End. Worship is fairly formal (moderately catholic, using Common Worship and the Book of Common Prayer). We have an enthusiastic choir and a small group of altar servers. Our church services are informal when baptism is administered.
We used to share our building with the local Methodist congregation (see Sharing Agreement and NEWS below). We have occasional united services. Visitors comment that we are a warm, friendly and welcoming church. Most members of the congregation are actively involved in many village activities and like to see their church fully integrated into the life of the community.
Our church is one of twenty-seven churches in the Deanery of Wycombe within the Diocese of Oxford (see www.wycombedeanery.com) which in turn is part of the Church of England in the Province of Canterbury in the United Kingdom - our Mother Church is Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford.
