The Parish Church of Heptonstall

St Thomas the Apostle

 

We serve the communities of Heptonstall, Slack, Colden, Blackshaw Head and the surrounding areas.

Together with St James the Great, Hebden Bridge we form the

United Benefice of Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall in the Diocese of Leeds.

 

Our vision is to encourage each other as we grow in our faith, love and generosity,

whilst also seeking to share the Good News with the wider communities we serve.

SERVICES 

Sunday Parish Communion at 10.45am


During the inter-regnum we are reliant upon retired and visiting clergy to officiate at the Eucharist. Occasionally, if an ordained minister is not available, the Parish Communion will be replaced by a Service of the Word.


ALL ARE WELCOME

 


PRAYING FOR PEACE

We are all very conscious of the violence taking place in Ukraine. There is a prayer station by the pebble pool in the south aisle should you wish to use it to pray for the people caught up in the violence.
