Harvest Festival: we’ll be celebrating on Sunday 11th October with an All-age non-eucharistic service at 10.30 am. We’ll be collecting food for the Borehamwood Foodbank. You can find out what they need on their website – please only bring what they’ve asked for!

1st November At 6.30 pm we will be holding a Memorial Service where we will remember those we have loved and lost through death, with well-known hymns, poems and music from the choir. All are welcome, and we will particularly be inviting those who have been bereaved in the past year.

8th November:  we will be holding a Remembrance Service at the War Memorial, Letchmore Heath at 10.30 am, in place of our usual Sunday morning service.

PARKING

Parking for the Sunday morning service is available in the Social Club Car Park.
PLEASE leave the small parking area outside the church for those less physically able!

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday school is open for children from 2-12 years old on the first Sunday in the month. Leaving church during the first hymn to go into the church room and then re-join the congregation at the Communion when they can receive a Blessing at the altar.

Each month our team offers ways for children to get to know about one of the readings and to explore how it relates to their everyday lives. To support this it provides songs, prayers, activities and games for children.

Boundary wall and other jobs
We hope you like the boundary wall now that it is finished, it looks almost as good as new and should last a while now.  The wooden gates have also been cleaned and treated with preservative to ensure their longevity as well.

The next job is to refurbish both of the sheds.  The one by the South Gate is in a poor state of repair and the accumulated rubbish around it needs clearing.  The other large shed further down the churchyard also needs a good clear out.  Work on both these will start this week to clear and replace the old rotten wooden frontages and doors.

The cost of all this has largely been met by donations plus a grant we obtained towards the wall.
HOWEVER, we are still needing to top up the amounts – if you would like to add to this it would be gratefully received and applied to these projects.

Streaming our Sunday morning service
Our 10.30 Sunday service is streamed live and remains available for at least 2 weeks on a YouTube link.
This is sent to the Electoral Roll and those that have signed up for regular information. If you would like to join us as well, please sign up using the form opposite or email us.

Mission Action Plan 2023 – 2026
The Mission Action Plan (MAP) is now due for revision. The purpose of the exercise is to reflect on what God might be calling us to be and do as a local church, to consult with those who are members of our church and our local community and to then take action so that we can fulfil our mission more effectively.  The timetable for this and details of how you can be involved will be published here in due course. We will consider every view expressed. You can read what we wrote 3 years ago here: Mission Action Plan 2023
