Tables ready for a lovely tea, provided by St Marys team after the Faith and Light service, at St Johns Harpenden.
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.

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.

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
