All Saints' Church Hertford

Good evening and welcome to All Saints.

Welcome to All Saints' website.

We are a Church of England church situated in the heart of Hertford and part of the Hertford Team of Churches. Visitors and newcomers are always welcome at All Saints. Whether you're just passing through, new to the area or have lived here for many years, we'd love to meet you!

All Saints is the spiritual home for our growing congregation. We see ourselves as a family united in our desire to worship God and follow Christ. We are all on a journey of discovery together and we aim to support one another in our searching for God and for meaning in our lives.

Ukraine

The people of the Diocese of St Albans are standing with Ukraine. Across the country, everyone wants to do their bit to support those who have been forced to flee their homes because of the conflict.

This webpage on the Diocesan Website sets out how to register offers of support whether that be financial, accomodation or in other ways or you can read a summary in our April Newsletter.

Services in Church

We usually meet at 10am on a Sunday for our Parish Communion Service. There is also a Choral Service at 6.30 every Sunday evening (Choral Communion on 1st Sunday, Choral Evensong on 2nd and 4th and Choral Compline on 3rd).

On the first Sunday of the month we meet together at 10am for our all-age Family Service.

You would be more than welcome to join us for any of these services and/or our weekday gatherings. Please look at the more detailed information about these services.

This week we are open for the following:

---

14th	Ninth Sunday after Trinity
	10.00 Parish Communion in Church
18th	Thursday
	11.00 am Holy Communion in Church

---

We have all the risk assessments/mitigations in place and we continue to be mindful of our own and other people's safety. Further details here.

On Tuesdays we hold a service of Morning Prayer on Zoom at 11.00. More information and the link are available here.

We are continuing to provide materials for those who prefer to worship at home, either on-line or by using printed materials and regular updates via our frequent newsletters.

Keeping everyone safe

Even though all legal restrictions have been lifted, if you feel that you would prefer to wear a face mask or want to sit socially distanced from others, please feel able to do so.

Some people have good reason to continue to socially distance. Please respect their choice.

We will not yet share the common communion cup so the communion wafers will continue to be intincted with wine for the time being and we will continue to wave to one another at the Peace while infection levels remain fairly high.

We will continue to have hand sanitiser available and have quite a stock of masks if you feel that you need to use these.

Do you need support?

The All Saints family would like to reach out to those who are isolated and could do with someone to talk to. We have a group of friends who would like to support all those who need it. If it would be helpful for you to have someone call you, please email us.

We have pulled together some resoures to help you look after your Mental Health.

A Prayer for this time

Dear Lord,
You know that we are often afraid and anxious,
We worry for those we love, for ourselves and our church.
The future seems so uncertain.
Help us to know the comfort of your presence close to us
and the strength and creativity of your Holy Spirit to sustain us through each day.
We pray for our church that all feel able to return safely and joyfully.
Grant that we may find volunteers to share in
prayer, hospitality, welcome and creativity;
And that we may reach new people and grow
help us to have faith that you are already at work in our community
and that we do not do this in our strength alone.
Inspire us to reach out to others in your love and grace.
Remind us that you hold us in the palm of your hands.
You are our refuge and our Rock and in you we trust.
Amen
