We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing.

We are so excited to be able to bring back the Christingle Service again this year.
It’s a fabulous Hixon tradition that needs to be revived. Christmas starts here! A friend said that it marked the beginning of the holiday season for them. “If it isn’t baked, stuffed, peeled, prepped or wrapped by the time Christingle came then, it isn’t going to be, and it really doesn’t matter! Just relax, and enjoy, the holiday starts now!” Excellent advice!

Morning Prayer
Start your day in the presence of God with a short service of readings and prayers.
