At All Souls we remember all those loved ones we have lost.

On the Sunday 5th November at 6.30pm we will be remembering our loved ones in a short service of quiet music, readings, prayers and silence.

Everyone is invited to light a candle in memory of their loved one. You can also add a prayer to our prayer tree, in a peaceful setting with lovely meditative music and prayers.

All are welcome – please do join us.

We look forward to keeping our Harvest Festival at 8.00am, 9.30am and 6.30pm on Sunday 1st October.

9.30 am        Family Harvest Eucharist

 An All Age Service with Harvest Procession & Worship Band

Children are invited to bring gifts of fruit, vegetables, flowers, or dried goods, which will be distributed to our elderly neighbours in Redbourn.

Adults are encouraged to bring money to support the Bishop of St Albans’ 2023 Appeal Cracking Food Poverty Together, which will provide materially poor families in Kumi, Uganda, with chickens. These give them a sustainable and low-cost food source, and also provide a new income stream because they can sell some of their eggs and new chicks that hatch. Their first hatchlings are returned to the project so that another family can benefit.

6.30 pm        Festal Evensong for Harvest

Sung by St Mary’s Church Choir

Members of the local farming community are invited to join us, followed by refreshments in the Transept.

Sunday 3rd September will be our final outdoor service of the summer, at 9.30am. As the first Sunday of the month, this will be an ‘All-Age’ service with our worship band. Do join us!

Next Sunday 10th September is our St Mary’s Patronal Festival (indoors), and Revd Rachel Wakefield’s first service as Vicar. This will be followed by a bring-and-share lunch and bar. All are welcome.
