SAFEGUARDING SURVEY
So, it is important for us to have your feedback and opinions on how YOU experience the culture in our church community.
The link below will take you to a short, anonymous online survey. It only take a few minutes (less than 5 minutes – honestly!), so why not do it NOW, before you get distracted!
At St Helen’s and St Peter’s we take Safeguarding very seriously – but we are aware there is always room for improvement.
Thank you to everyone who has already completed the survey – please only fill it in once! (Paper copies are available in church)
Many thanks for your help with this. The Safeguarding Team Richard Banham, Helen Caldwell, Britt Dahle, Jez Hirst, Sabrina Shafer.
Sunday 17th November, 11:15am, St Albans Abbey.
On Sunday 17th November St Albans Abbey will host the High Sheriff of Hertfordshire’s Justice Service. This tradition traces its origins back at least to the 12th century. It has evolved to include representatives of all aspects of the justice system from barristers and judges to police and probation service. As Chaplain to the High Sheriff, Rev’d Richard Banham will be preaching. All are welcome to attend, please come in good time to get a good view of the three different processions.

Help our young people help others
A number of our Youth Group have agreed to sacrifice sleeping in their beds for two nights, in order to raise money for those Christians who sacrifice a whole lot more because of their faith. We would love the rest of the Church family to get behind them and donate towards this fundraiser for Open Doors, who do amazing work supporting members of the persecuted church. Please use this link to give.
We also have the opportunity to join others around the world in praying for those who are suffering because of their Christian faith. This year Red Wednesday takes place on Wed 20th November, from midday in St Helen’s Church.
