Family Worship on the 4th.

At St Philip & St Etheldreda (opposite Newmarket College), there are services of:

 Communion for All on 1st Sunday and

For children to the age of 11 there are their own services in

 Godly Play

This is adjacent to St Martins Church enabling parents to attend worship there whilst their children are in their own Service.

Younger children are welcome to come into the services at St Martins and an area at the back of church is set aside with toys to keep them amused!
