SUNDAY’S SERVICES
Join us at 10am for our Parish Communion Service at St Helen’s Church. If you can’t join us in church, please join us online. Click here or on the image above for the YouTube link.
Relaxed, informal and friendly with more modern worship music.  If you’ve never been before, why not try St Peter’s Praise at 10am on Sunday?  All are welcome at St Peter’s Church, Gustard Wood (just past Mid Herts Golf Club on the way to Kimpton).
At this service, you can light a candle for your loved one and request for their name to appear on screen as the candles are lit. Please add the names of the friends and relatives that you’d like remembered at the service by clicking this link.  Alternatively, you can phone the church office on 01582 834031 to add a name.
Our Building Project Appeal – Update
 
We have had a wonderful start to the fundraising to build an extension with modern toilets and baby-change, and a new level access entrance at the West Door.

After the first two weeks of the appeal it has already raised £118,000, more than a third of the target of around £320,000.  We had over £28,000 of legacies and donations before the appeal launched.  The first two weeks brought generous donations of £39,000 with an additional £9,000 in Gift Aid; in addition there were pledges to donate a further £40,000.

A big thank you for the generous donations so far.  Donations can still be made 
  • up to £100 online, via the contactless device in St Helen’s or by scanning the QR code below
  • over £100 by bank transfer to Wheathampstead PCC, sort code 40-52-40, account  00099644, ref: Building Project
Gift Aid forms are available in church or can be requested from whtpcctreasurer@gmail.com.
Heads up for a good talk in aid of the Church Improvement Fund.
