Children are welcome at all church services. There is a
closed off play area at the rear of the church that children can play
in with toys provided and parents can participate in the service. For more details about Family Services and Junior Church please read on. Family ServicesFamily Services are normally held on the first Sunday of every month at 9.30 a.m. They comprise all-age worship with a special focus on young people. We sing from the screen display and the Junior Choir often make one or more contributions to the worship. The service - which normally lasts about 45 minutes - is followed by morning tea or a sausage sizzle.Holy Terrors PlaygroupHoly Terrors Playtime is held in the Memorial Hall at Holy Trinity Church, corner of Anson St. and Byng St. It runs on Thursdays between 10 a.m. and 12 noon during school terms only. Children are asked to bring their own morning tea. There is a nominal charge of $2 for each child or $3 for each family. Mums (and dads too!) get free morning tea. A typical morning includes free play such as craft and painting with morning tea at 11 followed by outdoor activities. The morning closes with storytime.Contact: Louise 02 6363 1583 Junior ChurchJunior Church operates during school terms at the same time as the 9.30 a.m. Holy Communion.

the supply. Please contact Rachel Budden on 6362 1623.Religious Education in SchoolsEach week the state schools in Orange and district have a 30 minute allocation for Religious Education for their students.The church groups provide teachers authorised by their minister who go into the schools and teach individual classes, or in some cases, group seminar sessions, using a set curriculum with material purchased by the Ministers' Association. Children are taught in their home classes and often the class teacher remains in the room and assists in supervision. This year Holy Trinity has provided five teachers who teach in eleven classes and one seminar session. Anyone who would like to assist in this ministry should see Father Frank.
