Yes Uganda

Yes Uganda (Youth Encouragement Services, Inc) is a faith-based, non-governmental organisation based in Fort Portal, Uganda, and registered in the United States.

Its mission is to improve the spiritual and physical wellbeing of orphaned and vulnerable young people — especially children born with HIV+. The work focuses on:

Providing access to formal education
Offering medical care and support
Ensuring social welfare and counselling
Running a full-board residential home for HIV+ children

Holy Trinity’s Connection
In October 2022, two members of Holy Trinity Bembridge — David and Faith Paterson — travelled to Uganda as volunteer leaders with Yes Uganda.

Faith now manages the Children’s Home, caring for thirty HIV+ children. David supports Carol Adams, the inspirational 78-year-old founder of Yes Uganda. He oversees the education sponsorship programme for over 200 children and is relaunching the vocational training scheme to equip young people with life skills for the future.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to Holy Trinity Bembridge!

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

8.00am

We meet at St Lukes Chapel for a quiet and traditional “said” service using the Book of Common Prayer.

10.30am

We meet at Holy Trinity Church for a more relaxed and modern language service using Common Worship with a mixture of traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs.

For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you are able to park nearby and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

The church is accessible to people with disabilities with a disabled access toilet, a Loop System and large print service sheets available. Please just ask one of the welcome team upon arrival if you need any help.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the 10.30am service in the Cloisters. It is a great way to meet people and to find out more about us. You would be very welcome to join us.

What about my children?

Children’s Club, our Sunday School is available for children of 10 years and under every Sunday at our 10.30am service. Activities vary depending on the age but always include a friendly welcome, bible stories, music & craft.
