The Mustard Tree Trust
Morpeth
About us
The Mustard Tree Trust was founded in 2002. We are a Christian charity with an emphasis on children and young people. The Trust is managed by a board of trustees and our workers are part time or sessional. We affirm the 8 principles of good RE as outlined in the Religious Education Council's code of practice.
Come and join us for a trail around the town, collecting Easter Eggs, a picture and a code breaker to complete the challenge
​
Call into at St James' C of E church, between 1.00 and 2.30pm, you will be given a map to find the other items. Each Church will have a "station" to collect your goodies from - then return to St James' to complete your picture and solve the code to find out what Easter is all about! Should take about 45 mins to complete.
​
Registration is helpful, especially if there are allergies, but not essential if you want to bring extras along on the day!

Dear Friends
The world can be a scary and daunting place for our young people growing up. The accepted reality we live in is a world of poverty, fear and violence. Low self-worth is further reinforced with mixed messages and peer pressure from social media presenting daily challenge for youngsters to be a certain person whose best is just not good enough. This can leave our children really conflicted about who they are and what matters in life. The Mustard Tree Trust (founded in 2002) works to readdress these struggles by bringing messages of love, hope and justice through the telling of stories from the Bible to show children the difference Christ's love can make to people's lives in a world of fear and pressure.
The focus of our work takes place in schools and our school's worker, Kirstine, is a welcomed and popular face across many of our schools in Morpeth. Her visits to school to lead assemblies and celebrations, running lunchtime clubs and developing positive relationships with staff and pupils across the year finally culminates in a huge celebration in the Summer Term with over 16 schools joining her and a team of volunteers at Brinkburn Priory for "Lifepath".
​
Over the coming year we will be looking to continue to develop our work in schools, finding out what our youngsters around Morpeth want and need and how we can continue to plant the smallest of seeds which lead to personal growth and potentially a vibrant and fulfilled life with a personal relationship with Jesus.
