One of the regular events in our programme are the Church Parades. They are generally held on the third Sunday of each month at Holy Trinity Church. We are joined by the Bullbrook Brownies and Guides and the Sunday School at the service which is open to all the family.

Why Holy Trinity?
Holy Trinity is Bracknell's third oldest building having been built in 1851. It is the "town centre" church and the people of Bullbrook have always regarded it as their own. 2nd Bracknell has been holding Church Parade at Holy Trinity for many years - back in the days when North Bracknell was still brickworks and open fields. Although the balance of the group may have changed in recent years we have remained loyal to Holy Trinity and continue to hold our monthly Church Parades there.

How do I get there?
Holy Trinity is on The Ring in Bracknell. It is the old church with a spire that you see if you drive from the railway station to the Met Office roundabout. Langley Hall is the more modern building next to the church. You can park in the small car park outside the church or hall, in the multi-storey opposite or in the car park near the Old Manor. Access to all of these is from The Ring via the Met Office Roundabout.

What time is it?
Normally we ask everybody to meet outside the church at 09.50. The service starts at 10.00 and ends at 10.40.

What Happens?
In addition to the normal prayers and songs we start the service by parading the flags. The children also get involved in the service and there is always a craft activity half way through so that everybody has something to take home with them. In addition, the musical instruments are normally given out so that the singing of the songs can be a very noisy affair! Our service is shared with the Sunday School.

Who is it for?
The service is open to the whole family and is designed to be appropriate for children - especially Beavers and younger Cubs.

When is it?
Church Parade normally takes place on the third Sunday of each month. There is no service in August. We also don't have a Church Parade in April as we have the St George's Day Parade and in November we do a Remembrance Sunday parade instead. Increasingly we are joining with other groups at Holy Trinity so that we get to take part in services for Mothering Sunday and Harvest Festival.

I already go to church on Sunday
We know that many of you already go to church or Sunday School and therefore find it difficult to make it to our parades. However, we hope that you might be able to make it to, say, one a term even if you can't come every time.
