St. Mary’s Church

St Mary’s Church, although small in physical terms, has a vibrant community at its heart and a distinctive ethos of caring and sharing responsibility for its buildings and people.

We seek to relate to and serve people at the north end of Harpenden while remaining a part of the wider parish of Harpenden. Please take a look at St. Mary’s monthly missive.

All Saints’ Church

We have a strong community ready to welcome you,

a space to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life

and time to think about the good things all around us.

With words of wisdom on the struggles we all face,

and maybe even the secret to a more fulfilled life,

we can’t wait to welcome you no matter where you are in life

and in your journey with God.

We meet for worship at

10am every Sunday

This is the typical pattern over the month:

Week 1 – Morning Worship 

a more informal service of readings, songs, sermon, and prayers

Week 2 – Holy Communion 

a more traditional service including the eucharist

Week 3 – All Age 

a more informal service that lasts less than an hour, with something for people of every age 

Week 4 – Holy Communion 

a more traditional service including the eucharist

(Week 5 – depends on season)

There is a Sunday Club for children during term time and a créche for little ones

You are welcome to join us in church or live on Zoom (joining details in weekly emails to members or from our Associate Vicar).

All Saints’ Services

Sundays

10am: The Sunday morning service alternates between Holy Communion and a more informal Morning Worship.

Music is provided by one of our two classically trained pianists and includes the best of both traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs.

Morning Worship is often led by a lay member of the church, and in all our services we strive to engage the children in reading etc.

During term time, the children and teenagers go to the hall for their separate activities in several age-related groups. At other times, worksheets are sent out by email for them to complete during the service. In both cases, a highlight of the service is towards the end when they are encouraged to share their work with the whole congregation.

You can join the service either in person in the church building or online (joining details are emailed to church members or may be obtained from our Associate Vicar or a church member to whom you are known)

All Saints church groups

Members of All Saints meet together in various groups outside of the Sunday and midweek services. They are always open to new members or for occasional visitors. All groups include Christian fellowship and pastoral care and are a good way to grow in faith and get more involved with the community of All Saints.

Specific themes of groups include Bible study, Christian nurture and parenting courses. Lent courses are also organised and open to all.

Most church groups are suspended during the pandemic but are expected to resume when this becomes possible.
