Holy Nativity and Ash Green Christmas Fair
The clocks have gone back, everything is dark and like all vicars, I have to start thinking about Christmas. One of the questions we were asked was whether there would be a Christmas Fair this year. The last time a Christmas Fair was held in Mixenden was 2019 and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. A few weeks ago I met with Mr Sheppard and we both agreed that we want our community to have…

Maundy Thursday and Good Friday
It has been a really eventful couple of days! Once the traditional foot washing service for Maundy Thursday had concluded, Holy Nativity’s Youth Group kept the overnight vigil with a sleepover. Maundy Thursday is all about remembering the last supper so they began by baking bread for the vigil. Millions of candles were set up on the high altar with the loaf and then we were keeping watch all through the night. Later, a camp fire and toasted marshmallows kept…
Palm Sunday | Our Holy Week Preparations
What a busy week we’ve been having as we prepared for Palm Sunday and Holy Week! Ash Green spent a day looking at how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. We waved palm branches and palm crosses around whilst shouting hosanna! Then we cut our own palms out of green paper to make leaved that became these fantastic rad banners to decorate Holy Nativity! Of course Holy Nativity’s youth group helped out with the decoration acros the bottom of…

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…
