Our Facebook posts are going to pause for much of August, but our Sunday 9:15am Communion service is still very much on!
Activity packs will be available for children of all ages, and parents are very welcome to sit with little ones in our summer children's area which we've created nearer the front of church.
Looking forward to seeing you!

This Sunday at 9:15am, we’re exploring the mystery of prayer…
Why pray when it feels like nothing happens?
What does Jesus teach us when the words don’t come?
Come and wonder with us!
Whilst our Sunday club take a summer break, activity packs are available for children during the service.

With thanks to Youthscape, the Jenga ‘discussion’ bricks are ready for tomorrow’s Sunday Xtra Young People’s group during the 9:15am service.
Rev Kathryn just needs to work out how to get them back in the box first….😬

**THIS SUNDAY during the 9:15am service at St Michael’s.**

A monthly space for young people (from Year 6 upwards) to explore faith in a fun, relaxed and age-appropriate way.

We’ll kick off with toast and a drink, followed by discussion, creative activities and games based on the Bible story for the day. Like Sunday Club, we’ll head back into church in time for communion and the final part of the service

There’s no pressure at all for Year 6s to move out of regular Sunday Club – they’re very welcome to stay there a while longer if they prefer. This is simply another option for those who feel ready for something a bit different

No need to sign up – just come along whenever you fancy and give it a go! See less

Some of our newer congregation members might not know that St Michael’s is part of a wider team of churches across Hatfield, North Mymms and Lemsford.

Every few months, the clergy, readers and churchwardens from across the team get together to chat about how we can support one another and grow together.

This month, we mainly grew our appetites (and potentially our waistlines) with a fantastic bring-and-share meal.

And thanks to Alexander, we even learned how to take a selfie that includes everyone. Hurray for young churchwardens!

What a joyful end to our week of 70th Anniversary celebrations!
Huge thanks to Bishop Jane for leading such a special service and helping us celebrate all that God has done through our amazing church and community.

We also took the opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to Roger, Lynne and Rev Kate for all they’ve given to St Michael’s over the years – as choir leader, churchwarden, treasurer and minister. We’re so grateful.

And finally, thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way this week – from building and tidying gardens, decorating the church, and organising the fête, to leading or joining in worship, making amazing cakes, and praying faithfully for all that has been happening from home or hospital.
You’ve all played a part in making this a truly special week. 🙏🏻🎉
