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?

September Message

Hi All,

You know how you intend to do something and it’s at the back of your mind and yet you don’t get around to it even though it’s important? This was me with EcoChurch - this is an award scheme designed to motivate and resource churches in England and Wales to care for God's earth. Two examples of suggested actions are: to vastly reduce our carbon footprint; to use some of our land for native wildlife.

However, this week’s conversations with two of my children have reminded me our climate is changing. It is now urgent, and we have to do more than just recycling.

Alice's Flooded School 1My daughter Alice works in a primary school in Todmorden West Yorkshire (yes, it did used to be in Lancashire!). Todmorden has always flooded occasionally but this year it has flooded three times already.
