St. Mary's, Henlow, is a friendly village church with a range of services and activities. Our normal pattern of worship consists of:
+ Eucharistic morning services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month;
+ Less formal Morning Worship on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month;
+ Morning Prayer, celebrated over Zoom, each Tuesday morning, and
+ Compline, celebrated over Zoom, each Thursday evening.
All Sunday services are followed by refreshments served in the church.
Children are welcome to all our services, and there are baby-changing facilities and an upper room from which the service can be both observed and heard discretely.
Other activities include a choir and bell ringing, prayer groups, coffee mornings and tending the beautiful and extensive churchyard.
Our parish of Henlow is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of St.Albans’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO (Carol Donnelly, tel: 01462 7811960) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (Jeremy Hirst, Tel: 01727 818107, Email: [email protected]). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
