St Marys bug church was filled up with twigs, leaves and other materials at our outdoor Simply Worship service. We found some caterpillars, and moved one into the bug church complete with his favourite leaves!
We added the Please and Thank you prayers to the prayer board in church. We are proud to have received our Eco Church silver award.
Dear friends, the team at Aratta, and all those they support, in Chernihiv and Chernihiv Oblast in the North of Ukraine, would like to send you their most grateful and sincere thanks for your donations. We are currently distributing the aid, sent via Tony and Philip at British Humanitarian Aid, to those with the greatest needs; over 80 yrs, severely handicapped, displaced persons and those with damaged homes are all included. The queues are starting to form at 8am, though we only open at 10am. Many are desperate for help as there is little or no state support available.

As Covid restrictions are lifted, we hope people will feel safe returning to church. Covid has not gone away, but we are learning to live with it. We still encourage people coming to church to wear face masks and to maintain sensible spacing to protect others around them as we worship together. Hand sanitiser is available as well. We offer Holy Communion in as safe a way as possible. Our online service streaming will continue for those joining from home.

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 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).
