This is a great church event for all the family. The service will start at 9.30am with pastries, coffee and juices.

If you are starting school for the first time, or just returning to school from your summer break then come and join us at St Mary's Church, Offwell. It'll be a lot of fun, with our worship tailored around a familiar school Collective worship format. So come and join the celebrations at the start of a new school year.’

We understand that the beginning of a new school year can be an emotional time for both children and parents. It can be an exciting time, but it can also feel rather scary too, especially if you are moving up to big school, or starting a new school entirely. In this service we celebrate the excitement of making new friends and learning new things, but we also ask God to be with those who are feeling anxious about starting school again.
