Messy Summer Special 2026
Messy Summer Special

We had lots of fun at our Messy Summer Special at the beginning of July.

I wonder which activity or challenge you enjoyed the most?

  • Making your own sandwich and putting together a picnic?
  • Completing the obstacle challenge or the Treasure Hunt to find different types of bread?
  • Making a wooden fish, a fish bead bracelet or a rainbow fish with paint?
  • Making a person and adding them to our picnic scene during the Celebration?
  • Playdough? Magnetic fishing? Sensory Tent?
  • Or something else?


After our celebration when we explored the story of Jesus feeding 5000 people with one little boy's picnic, we went outside and had our own picnic on the grass. 

Don't miss our next Messy event - Messy Harvest on Sunday 4th October. We'll look forward to seeing you there!

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

If you're coming to Holy Trinity with St John's for the first time, this information will help you know what to expect.

Where and When?

Our 8am service is at our Holy Trinity Site (location details here). 

Our 10:30am service is at our St John's Site (location details here). 

For more information about our different Sunday services, please click here.

What about my children?

We actively welcome families with children of all ages. If your child is a baby or a toddler, they will remain with you for the duration of the service. A welcomer will give you a Toddler Bag as you come in - these contain a variety of toys and games to entertain your child. We are aware that it can be very hard for a toddler to remain in their seat throughout the service. We have recently enhanced our provision for families with very young children with a designated space, "Sparkle", on the carpeted area at the back of church. Here you will find toys, crayons, books and space for your child to move about. We understand that toddlers do make a noise, and want them and you to feel comfortable with this. If your child is very distressed, or needs a space to calm down and regulate, there is also our crèche room.

I / one of my family have additional needs? Will HTSJ welcome me?

At Holy Trinity with St John's, we want everyone to be seen, heard, able to belong and join in, including those with additional needs. When you arrive in church the welcome team will say hello, and there are toys available which you can use to fidget with during the service. In the seat pockets there is a visual timetable showing the structure of the service. More information about how we are making our services and activities accessible is coming soon but, in the meantime, if there is something you need, please do ask the service leader or a welcomer.
