During our vacancy, St Francis church life, worship and events are very much alive! We have invited and received wonderful support from retired clergy members across the Diocese in order to offer Eucharist services during this interregnum. Each week will be different, interesting and varied. Come as before or if you are new, welcome and join us. We continue to offer the following regular services:
Tuesday @1930 Said Eucharist
Wednesday @1030 Said Eucharist (mostly)
Update: Great news, most Wed 10:30 am services will be a Said Eucharist except for one, now and then in the form of a Service of the Word or Morning Worship. We have had incredible support from priests all over Herts visiting, to preside over our Wednesday morning communion services. We aim and continue to secure more clergy coverage all the time – please check online or call our Parish Office: 01707 694191, Wed to Fri 9:30 to 12 noon).
Sunday @0800 Said Eucharist and @0915 Parish Communion (sung)
Frankie’s @5 informal Worship Service on the first Sunday of each month
(Next service: Sunday 1 June 2025)
Choral Evensong @1800 on the third Sunday of each month ie today, 18 May
(Follows the traditional pattern in The Book of Common Prayer and consists of choral music (psalms, canticles, and anthems) in the rich Anglican musical tradition of scripture readings, and prayers. This service provides a time for quiet reflection. Welcome, join us.)
Please pray with us and for us as we have started the process of looking for a new minister!
