Thanks from Arrata

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.

Covid

WORSHIPPING SAFELY in our THREE CHURCHES:

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.

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.

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).

If you are planning to visit, please take a look here

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.
