SUNDAY’S SERVICES
Join us at 10am for our Parish Communion Service at St Helen’s Church. If you can’t join us in church, please join us online. Click here or on the image above for the YouTube link.
Join us at Kids Worship – 3.30pm in St Helen’s Church. Fun, informal worship with songs, stories and craft. Especially suitable for primary age children and smaller siblings, but all are welcome.
Thank you for submitting the names of your loved ones to be remembered at our special service on Sunday 1st November. The service will start at 6pm at St Helen’s Church. During the service, we will light a candle to remember more than 60 of your friends and family and their names will appear on screen.

You are very welcome to come to church to attend the service. Alternatively, you can watch this beautiful and moving service online, by clicking on this link.  
Ginny has organised what promises to be a lovely evening of fashion, style and shopping, all topped off with a glass of fizz, at The Chapel Halls. There will be a fashion show from Lou Murphy Styles (branded and designer pre-loved clothes), with commentary and styling tips from Ali Suss-Franksen, from Forever Cinderella.  There will also be shopping opportunities of jewellery from Wendy Jones, Tropic make up and skincare and a candle stall.  Scan the QR code or click on the link to purchase a ticket.  All proceeds will go to the Building Project.

Our Building Project Appeal – Update
 
We have had a wonderful start to the fundraising to build an extension with modern toilets and baby-change, and a new level access entrance at the West Door.

After the first two weeks of the appeal it has already raised £118,000, more than a third of the target of around £320,000.  We had over £28,000 of legacies and donations before the appeal launched.  The first two weeks brought generous donations of £39,000 with an additional £9,000 in Gift Aid; in addition there were pledges to donate a further £40,000.

A big thank you for the generous donations so far.  Donations can still be made 
  • up to £100 online, via the contactless device in St Helen’s or by scanning the QR code below
  • over £100 by bank transfer to Wheathampstead PCC, sort code 40-52-40, account  00099644, ref: Building Project
Gift Aid forms are available in church or can be requested from whtpcctreasurer@gmail.com.
