Welcome to St. Stephen's Church Hightown

----- Mission Statement -----

"St. Stephen’s Church, Hightown, is integral to community life,
welcoming and joyful in worship,
and inspiring and loving in our ministry to children....."

We are a small, welcoming and busy church at the foot of the railway bridge in Hightown; very much a part of the local community. Eucharistic worship, every Sunday at 10.30am, is ”middle of the road” and there are alternative worship opportunities: BCP (Book of Common Prayer) Evensong every Sunday at 6.00pm.

Enquirers and Nurture courses are run regularly. New members and visitors are always given a special welcome. St. Stephen’s Youth Club meets every Friday in term-time at 6.00pm in the Church Hall.

We have a large and excellent, well-equipped parish hall, which is available to hire.

St. Stephen’s has a friendly and inclusive feel, which comes from the warmth and enthusiasm of its people. If you haven’t already, why not give us a try?

August Message

Hi All,

If you read (and remembered!) what I wrote in last month’s magazine, you’ll know our church was re-applying for the Diocesan Disabled Church Award for another three years.

I’m pleased to say we were awarded this.

Three years ago we thought about how to make our church friendly for people with mobility issues. This time we had to think about how to make our church more accessible for people with anxiety, stress or any mental conditions affecting their life. We came up with four suggestions:

St Stephen’s Says:

• Come when you can; go when you want
• We will not comment on your personal appearance or ask difficult questions
• We will listen and support and pray for you
• We will treat you as every other parishioner; you will not carry a label
• At the end of my letter I asked you if there were things we’d missed out....
