Worship Review Questionnaire

The Ministry Team at St Mary’s have been thinking about how we might develop our worship in the future, particularly our family and evening services, and would love it if you could fill this questionnaire in as soon as possible.

There are also paper copies in church and a box to return them to, but it will make our lives easier if you can fill it in online!

We hope that this will begin to help us in our thinking ahead of our new Mission Action Plan, and it’s anonymous so don’t think we will know what you’ve said!

Thank you! 

Online Service: Rogation Sunday

In the latest of our monthly online services, Will takes the theme of Rogation – ‘to ask’, and prays for groups, organisations and places in our Parish of Redbourn. The choir sings the anthem Look at the World by John Rutter and we sing four well known hymns to lift the spirits.

The service will be broadcast at 9.30am on Sunday 22nd May, and available on our YouTube Channel thereafter.

St Mary’s Annual Meetings (APCM): Sunday 20th September

St Mary’s Church Accounts 2019     


Unsurprisingly, we’re having to do things a little bit differently this year and in fact, our annual meetings normally take place towards the end of April but that wasn’t possible because of lockdown.

They will now take place at 10.30 am on Sunday 20 September – in the churchyard if fine and in the church if the weather is not so good. If you attend the 8 am service please do come back and join us for these short but important meetings which we estimate will last about 45 minutes.

If you attend the 9.30 am service, please join in as usual with that and then factor in staying on afterwards for the meeting. And, finally, if it is wet, the 8 am service will be unaffected (hardy lot!) the 9.30 am service will be online only but do come down to the church afterwards for the meeting in church at 10.30 am and feel free to bring some coffee or tea with you.

It is really important that we have a good attendance as we elect our Churchwardens and Deputy Churchwardens, we hear the reports for the past year, and elect six members to represent you on the Parochial Church Council and four members to the Deanery Synod.

Copies of the annual reports booklet and accounts are available to download at the top of this page.  They will also be circulated electronically beforehand where you are on our church electoral roll and we have an email address for you but there will also be limited
numbers of both in printed form to pick up from inside the church in the days leading up to the 20 September.
