SUNDAY’S SERVICES

 

 

 

Join us in St Helen’s Church for our Parish Communion Service at 10am. 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 tomorrow?  All are welcome at St Peter’s Church, Gustard Wood (just past Mid Herts Golf Club on the way to Kimpton).

 

 

Wondering if there’s more to life? Come to Alpha and explore the Christian faith together. It’s for anyone who’s curious – even, or especially, if you’ve got doubts.

No judgement, no pressure.

The sessions are informal and relaxed: we begin with a meal (please let us know if you have dietary requirements), then watch a short video which unpacks a big question of life, faith and purpose and is designed to spark conversation.

Come along, see what you think. No obligation taster session on Wednesday 5th February 2025 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at The Rectory. Email office@sth-stp.org to book your place.

 

Following the Message returns on Monday! 

Meet in St Helen’s Church at 11am, grab a drink at Coffee in the Chancel beforehand.

 

 

KIMBILIO PROJECT

 

 

 

Sunday January 19th St Helen’s 10am.
