Don’t forget to turn your clocks back tonight!

 

 
 
Join us at our 10am Parish Communion Service for All Saints Day, with Richard back at the helm. If you are not able to join us in on-site, you can still join us online. Click here or on the image for the Youtube link or click here to view from our website.

We will watch with interest the events at COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (31st October – 12th November, in Glasgow). All are also invited to attend Deanery Synod (see below) on Thursday11th November at 8pm in All Saints Church (Batford) where Rachel Johnston, Diocesan Environment will give a talk about “Linking the Gospel with Safeguarding Creation”.
“Have your say – Q&A” –
TOMORROW: Sun 31st Oct, 11:15am (after the 10am service).
You will have seen on screen or in church that the choir are singing from the chancel accompanied by a digital organ we have on loan / hire.  Come and hear why we’ve made the change, the advantages it gives us and share your views.  Rob, Simon and Richard  will be on hand to answer your questions.  If you can’t make the meeting, or you’re too shy to ask a question yourself,  you can click here to send your comment / question by email.  

 
Thank you to the volunteers who have come forward to help. We can now start to offer post-Sunday Service refreshments from Sunday 7th November. I know that many are looking forward to that social time with friends.

We could do with a few more volunteers. If you are able to help prepare and serve refreshments 7-8 Sundays a year, please consider volunteering. There will be a “training demo” with Helen, our Churchwarden in St Helen’s Church on Sunday 7th November at 9.15am. All are welcome to come to the training session to see what it involves.

 

This time of year is traditionally a season when we remember those we love but are no longer with us.  At this service, we will light a candle for your loved one and their name will appear on screen as the candles are lit.  

We understand that because of Covid, not everyone will be comfortable attending the service in person, but everyone can have their loved ones remembered as part of it. We will email you a link to view the service either on our website or on our YouTube channel.

Please add the names of the friends and relatives that you’d like remembered at the service by clicking this link.  There is no limit to how many people you can ask to be remembered, and they do not need to have had any previous connection to Wheathampstead or St Helen’s Church.  You are welcome to forward this email to others so they can add names to be remembered too.
We have a new date!
We would love you to come to CinC at 2.30pm on Sunday 28 November 2021 for cake, a hot drink and a celebratory toast of fizz. To celebrate 10 years of our lovely coffee shop and to thank all the wonderful customers and helpers who have made all this possible

If you could let us know if you can come then please RSVP Sally (saljonessal@gmail.com) as soon as you can which really helps with planning the catering.
