Asda can be church... One of the old folk we give lift to was upset, confused & worried as her shopping delivery slots weren’t available for weeks. So we did the shop instead of going church. It’s little ways to support each other that will help us all get through...

Observing all due precautions and the current official advice on coronavirus, the collation service for our new Archdeacon of St Albans, the Revd Canon Jane Mainwaring, will go ahead tomorrow at 2pm at St Mary's Hemel hempstead. Please do pray for Jane.

We are so proud to announce that our very own Canon Jane Mainwaring has been appointed the Archdeacon of St Albans! We sadly lose a vicar, but gain an Archdeacon, and know that she will serve in her new role with the same love and wisdom that she has shared so generously with us.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has launched a ten-day series of reflections on #FaithAndMentalHealth
The first reflection asks ‘How Are You?’
Have you ever found yourself not knowing what to say when someone cheerily said “How are you?”

Delighted at the announcement that Revd Chris Bunce will be joining our Team as Team Rector in November.

[St Marks Hitchin @stmarkshitchin]

If you were thinking of coming to our annual memorial service which, in the past, has happened on the last Sunday in June, it has now moved to the first Sunday in November.

Lovely Sunday afternoon with a church family ramble on Oughtonhead common followed by tea and cakes in the vicarage garden.
