SUNDAY’S SERVICES

 

 
 
Join us in St Helen’s Church at 10am for our Parish Communion Service. We welcome Jez Bottrill from STEP who will be talking to us about the work he does sharing the Christian faith with young people in schools. 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).

 

Sunday 8th March

In many countries this has become an important day for women to come together, and this year Wheathampstead is celebrating the day.

All are welcome to pop in for cake and a cup of tea, with members of the village WI and friends from 12.30pm to 4.00pm in the Mead Hall.

Vacancy Prayer Themes for 12th March
  1. Please pray that the church remains forward focusing, that current projects and outreach receive support especially for families and children.
  2. We thank God for those who have led our Sunday morning worship with such skill and generosity; we pray for them and for those who hold meetings. May God bless us with quality and continuity so that the church feels fed and supported.
  3. Please pray for the Pastoral care in the church. That people feel connected and cared for. Pray for the building of new relationships and friendships at this time.
  4. Please pray for the Welcome team and any new people or visitors to the church. We want people to feel welcomed and to come back. 
The usual Morning Prayer sessions will continue to run in church (Monday and Tuesday) and on Zoom (Monday – Wednesday).
