At Youth with a Mission (YWAM), Deborah & Sandro have been working with young people at Discipleship Training School, getting to know God more and make Him known in the nations. From April to June they’ll be working in the Latino world: Spanish-speaking communities of churches, university students, kids, families. Deborah and Sandro will share their news at Sunday’s service. 

 

 

 

 
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SESSION WILL BE ON ZOOM ONLY

Vacancy Prayer Themes for 26th March
  1. Please pray for our relationship with the Diocese and Deanery. We thank God for their support during this time.
  2. Please pray for the wider community of Wheathampstead especially St Helen’s school that our relationship with them continues to grow and flourish.
  3. Please pray for our new Rector. Andy. For wisdom for him as he begins planning for his move to Wheathampstead. That he will develop a clear vision for his ministry and mission.
  4. Please pray that God continues to bless not only our church and it’s new Rector, Andy, but Richard and Claire in their new ministry. 
The usual Morning Prayer sessions will continue to run in church (Monday and Tuesday) and on Zoom (Monday – Wednesday).

On Easter Monday, 6 April, join a thousand other pilgrims at St Albans Cathedral for a joyful pilgrimage and service that brings people together from across the Diocese. It’s a day for everyone— grandparents, parents, young people, kids, and even dogs (muddy boots welcome).
