Events

Taizé During Lent

  • 7:00 pm – 7:30 pm
On Monday Evenings during lent we will be holding quiet reflective services using the chants of the Taizé Community. This is an way to slow down the pace of life and bring ourselves into the presence of God in the still of the evening. It will last roughly half an hour and is followed by the Lent Course, “Worship in the Wilderness”. Whether you are dipping your toe into the ancient faith or have been walking the path for many…

Lent Course | Worship in the Wilderness

  • 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
This Lent we are exploring what it means to be an Inclusive Church! We invite you to explore the beauty and richness of a church where everyone is welcomed, valued, and celebrated. Throughout this course, we will delve into the theological foundations of inclusivity, examine practical ways to foster a culture of belonging, and share stories of transformation and hope. Join us as we work together to make our churches truly inclusive spaces for all.

Check out our Arts Retreat!

Take a look at this short video of all the creative fun we had at our last Arts Retreat day. We are always amazed at the creativity that comes out at these days, especially from people who tell us ‘I didn’t know what to expect and I don’t think I’m creative’.

Help us design a community church for the future

On the 5th of April we will be launching the next stage of our plan to develop Holy Nativity Church Building for the next 70 years of Life with God here in Mixenden. We want as many people as possible to have their say about how they’d like their church to look as well as what they’d like their church to be and so we are inviting children in school years 0 – 6 to join in and design us…
