Children, Youth and Families

‘Celebrate’ is the name for all the things we do at the Church in Westcott to help children and families to live life, love life and share life to the full! Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve been to church before or not.  

Our 10:15am Sunday Service has a brilliant Sunday Club for kids, and on the first Sunday of the month the service is 'all age' throughout.  Creche facilities are available for babies and toddlers, with a speaker link so accompanying parents can hear what's going on.  

On Thursday mornings, Cookie Club, our parent, baby and toddler group, meets at St John's, with a warm welcome for all with under 5's.  Find out more here!

We enjoy our links with Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, building friendships and sharing life together. 

Westcott Volunteer Meals


In Westcott, local volunteers prepare and deliver free hot meals to those in need within the community, including
  • families with newborn babies
  • people dealing with a bereavement
  • those facing severe illnesses
This initiative began nearly 20 years ago through Holy Trinity Church. It provides essential support not only to families with newborns but also to anyone facing difficulties.

Approximately 40 dedicated Westcott volunteers cook and deliver meals throughout the village. Many of them were once recipients themselves, understanding the impact of this practical support during challenging times.

If you live in Westcott and could benefit from hot meals for a limited period or wish to join our team of Volunteer Cooks, please reach out to Anna Kemers at annakemkers@hotmail.co.uk.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning, or Wednesday morning.

Where and When - Sunday Morning

Welcome Flag

We meet at Holy Trinity Church (find us) on Sunday mornings.  There are two Sunday Services to choose from:

The 8:30 am Book of Common Prayer Communion Service

This is a traditional service, with organ-led traditional hymns.  It is a beautiful and peaceful way to begin your Sunday morning.  The service lasts about 45 minutes.

The 10:15am Parish Service is either a service of Morning Worship, or Communion. 

This is a more informal service, with a mixture of traditional hymns and modern worship songs.  The service usually lasts about an hour.  This service is also livestreamed on Zoom.  You won't be able to use your camera or microphone, but will be able to see, hear and join in with the service, from the comfort of your own home.

Mask wearing is no longer mandatory in church, but there are designated seating areas for those who prefer to wear masks.

If you feel unwell, please do not come in person - join us on Zoom at our 10:15am Sunday services.

For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space (if you're driving) and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our Welcome Team who will answer any questions you might have about the service, and help you find a seat.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after both services. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to pause and reflect before heading home. All refreshments are free.
Accessibility: There is wheelchair access to the side of the church, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. 

Where and When - Midweek

On Wednesday mornings, at 10am, there is a small, friendly and informal Communion Service, held at St John's Chapel (find us).  There are a choice of sofas or chairs to sit on.  The service usually starts with a song (unaccompanied but joyful!) and lasts about 30 minutes.  Refreshments are usually served afterwards.  
Parking directly outside St John's is limited, so if you want a guaranteed parking space, it is a good idea to arrive 10-15 minutes early.  However if you are able, there is on-street parking available in Furlong Road or St John's Road.  A warm welcome awaits you!

Getting Connected

Small Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some mornings and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Do get in touch with us if you'd like to know more about any of these services, or if you have any other questions about coming along to church.


We hope that whoever you are, you will feel at home at our church.
