What's on

All Together Worship

Monthly. Every Last Sunday at for 1 hour
St Martin's Church, Shenley
London Road Shenley St. Albans, WD7 9DU, United Kingdom

A lively service aimed at all ages in the same space worshiping God together.

This service could take the format of almost anything and hopefully contains something for people of all ages.

Lively music, dramatic tellings of Bible stories, crafts, activities and all sorts of other methods to help us engage with God in a variety of ways. The service concludes with us all sharing in bread and wine at the Lord's table.

Safeguarding

We are totally committed to provide safe places for both children and vulnerable adults throughout the parish. Our policy follows procedures from the Church of England, The Diocese of St Albans and takes into account local parish requirements and is reviewed annually.

The PCC members, as trustees of the parish, are all committed to do the required training and updates whenever these need doing and have all made the necessary DBS declarations, along with any volunteers working directly with children and vulnerable adults. We support and provide training for volunteers that have direct contact with children and vulnerable adults.

We have a Safeguarding Officer, Paul Norman (who can be contacted on [email protected]), who keeps us up to date with any changes to the national and local guidelines. and changes to the law. If any complaints were to be made, there is the network of professional people outside of the parish that will handle any investigations.

You can also contact the Diocese of St Albans Safeguarding Team. The Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser is Jez Hirst 07867 350886 or email him at [email protected]
