The Church of the Holy Trinity ~ Parish church for Orton Longueville, Botolph Green and Riverside
It takes time for a community to gain a sense of identity. The ancient hamlet and village of Orton Longueville has
undergone many changes, especially in recent years with the developments of Botolph Green and Sugar Way. Every
indication suggests that we are witnessing the emergence of a new sense of community which stretches along the Oundle Road.
Many new people have moved into this area and this is where they now call ‘home’.
Wherever home is, there are familiar places, gathering spaces
and landmarks. Holy Trinity church (in The Village) is one of those familiar places. There has been a church building on this
spot for nearly 1,000 years.
You may not know it but Holy Trinity is your parish church – whether you are a Christian or not, a believer,
a person of faith or a convinced atheist. It is your church simply because you live in the parish. My job and my privilege
is to be here for you – to walk alongside you, if you wish me to, during those joyful moments in life that call out
to be celebrated – births and marriages for example. But it is also my privilege to be able stand alongside you when
life is dark and bleak – when sickness, bereavement and death draw close to you.
It is the responsibly of the church family to point to a different
sort of world based upon the values of truth, forgiveness mercy and compassion. We also care and care for a place of beauty
for worship, prayer, reflection and meditation which all in the parish are welcome to attend.
If you wish to receive any information about the life of the church
community, worship times, or answers to questions about baptisms, weddings and funerals, do not hesitate to get in touch.
With every blessing
