Hilton: All Saints, Hilton

We are one of a small group of six country churches seeking to serve all in our communities. We welcome all to the services in our benefice. Baptised and communicant members of other Trinitarian churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion at any of our churches. Others, including those prevented by conscience ofr the rules of their own church from receiving Holy communion, are warmly invited to receive a blessing.

Occasionally (and especially at major festivals), we vary the pattern of our services. Do please check the full Calendar of events on this website for any particular Sunday.
