Fun and Games @ Sparks
So much fun to be had and so little time to have it! Holy Nativity was filled with the chaos of thirty 5-11 year olds for the latest of our Sparks Holiday Fundays! It is always fantastic to have so many kids enjoying themselves during the holidays. If you’re wondering what they were all painting, they are fridge magnets! As always, none of this would be possible without the support of all of the people who volunteer their time and…
Youth Group @ Galactic Golf!
Yesterday Holy Nativity’s Youth Group got into the minibus and headed down to Galactic Golf for some half term fun! 18 holes of zany fun with 15 youngsters? What could go wrong?

Then we all had pizza, hotdogs, chicken nuggets and chips! Of course there was a birthday to…

Mixenden: A Community that Rallies in Times of Trouble
What a day it has been! The response to such challenging circumstances from the whole community here in Mixenden has been amazing. From offering a cup of tea and a space for people to gather at Holy Nativity, we soon decided to start serving bacon butties. Jo and Bailey can’t help but feed people. Then we had a surprise as Scoffers came through the door with a tray of sandwiches. So as people are together and chatted, toddlers toddled with…
