Thorpe Hamlet, Norwich
St. Matthew's Church
We are a Church that seeks to welcome everyone, sometimes that means adapting what we do in order to meet people's needs. We are happy to do that, so if you or your family have specific needs please let us know. We are an inclusive Church which means we are all welcome, whatever our gender, race or sexual orientation and with whatever needs we have. We are also a Recovery Friendly Church committed to supporting one another in our mental health and well-being.

Children's Church completes its first year as an afternoon group.
We have really enjoyed children's Church this year, which has sometimes been delivered online and sometimes in the Church building. For the Vicar it has meant getting to know our families better and sharing stories, prayer and craft together. seeing how our children respond has been a joy. We are taking a break in August, and there will be a children's corner at our 10am service. We hope to be back in Church in September for our 2.30pm sessions and if you would like to come do call the Vicar on 01603 494015.
