Benefice Partnerships
_____________________________________________________________________
Churches Together in Haxby & Wigginton
St Mary's and St Nicholas' enjoy good relationships with St Margaret Clitherow RC Church and Haxby and Wigginton Methodist Church.
All the churches are represented on a joint consultation group. We share in worship and activities throughout the year:
Benefice Partnerships World Concerns The Haxby & Wigginton World Concerns Group exists to promote congregational engagement with issues beyond the parish boundaries. Explicitly we foster our links with a number of Christian organisations, running events and offering prayers: Youth for Christ www.hullyfc.co.uk Hull Youth for Christ was established in the 1950's and was involved with organising city wide events and training for the church.
Christian Aid www.christianaid.org.uk Christian Aid is a Christian organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. It works globally for profound change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality. We are part of a wider movement for social justice. We provide urgent, practical and effective assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes. USPG Anglicans in World Mission www.uspg.org.uk USPG works in direct partnership with Anglican Churches in over 50 countries, helping to support vital church work, including healthcare, education, leadership training and action for social justice.
