COMING BACK TO CHURCH SAFELY in our THREE CHURCHES – Autumn 2021:
FACE MASKS ARE NOW LEGALLY REQUIRED IN ALL PLACES OF WORSHIP
We continue to maintain a duty of care for one another by various measures: sanitise hands entering and leaving, providing seating space for distancing when possible, provide online streaming for those wishing to join from home. Please help us by cooperating and respecting others. Thank you.

Harpenden Child Contact Centre
Without the services of Harpenden Child Contact Centre, many separated families would be unable to meet their children after a relationship breakdown. So local volunteers were delighted to meet Hitchin and Harpenden MP, Bim Afolami, when he dropped in at one of their fortnightly sessions at All Saints’ Church Hall in Harpenden recently.

We have an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube
All Saints’ Church has long cherished its well-deserved reputation for friendliness, and we would love to welcome you into our fellowship. We are small enough that you can get to know most of our members, and large enough to have plenty going on.
Patterns of Worship
Full details of our worship patterns are given in our Services page.

“HOLIDAY AT HOME – gives an opportunity for senior members of the community to meet together, in the summer, for a day of friendship, food and fun. An opportunity for a day out is also given. These days are organised and run by members of the parish.
During recent times, the event has also been held as a shortened one-day version known as “Happy Monday”

St. Mary’s Pastoral Care
Pastoral care for our congregation has developed over recent years and members are very supportive of each other. A pastoral care coordinator provides a valuable link between those needing support and others in the congregation able to give it. Rotas have been arranged for those who need help with shopping or transport. A Pastoral Team of six members, who have received training, visit people in need in the community, led and overseen by the Associate Vicar. If people would like to be visited, or know of people in our neighbourhood who need some help, please contact the Associate Vicar.
St. Mary’s Tuesday Afternoon Group
Tuesday Afternoon Group (TAG) is a social activity group open to all, both from the congregation and the local community. It meets monthly, on the 2nd Tuesday, in the church hall, and usually has a visiting speaker. Afternoon tea is provided.
St. Nicholas Pastoral Visiting Team
The Pastoral Visiting Team
The purpose of this team is to offer welcome, friendship and compassion as an active part of the ministry of everyone in the church.
We visit those who are new to the church family, also those who are housebound, in residential care or hospital temporarily or long-term.
We meet regularly together with the Rector to plan our visits, to pray and to encourage each other.
This is a quiet and confidential ministry.
If you know of someone who would appreciate a visit, please contact the team via the Rector or the parish office
