We are delighted to have Ruth Gray as our Minister in the Parish of Stondon offering leadership of mission and ministry in the parish.
You will receive a warm welcome as you enter the church and there will always be someone willing to assist you through the service. All our services begin at 11:00am. We generally have the following pattern which is sometimes changed but will always be notified through social media (our Church Facebook Page) and our church diary (on this web site):
1st Sunday: "Sunday Celebration Service" which is more informal with an activity, worship songs, a talk and prayers around a set theme.
2nd and 3rd Sundays: "Morning Prayer Service" which has traditional hymns, readings, a sermon and prayers.
4th Sundays : "Holy Communion Service" in a Common Worship setting with traditional hymns, a sermon and prayers. The responses in the Communion Services are said not sung. Anyone who has received Holy Communion within their own church is welcome to come to the altar rail and receive alongside our regular church family. If you do not receive communion then you are welcome to come up for a blessing.
All the services are suitable for all ages. At the end of the service you are welcome to stay for tea or coffee and a chat.
All the churches in our benefice are blessed by having a good working relationship and sharing fellowship with the other Christian churches in the area. At Stondon we share our 5th Sunday services with the members of the Baptist Church.
Support our ministry and mission
Our parish of Stondon 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’ 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 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. 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.
