We are a relatively small church, which gives a family feel to our worship. There is a strong sense of fellowship and visitors are always made welcome.
In addition to our Sunday worship we meet for Food4Thought breakfast at 9:30 am on the first Saturday each month where we always welcome a few visitors from the other village churches and we share activities for reflection as well as a time to meet together.
Wherever they are, we encourage our members to pause and pray at 2:30pm every Wednesday.
Our Methodist Guild meets fortnightly and worship, discussion and outside speakers lead to an enjoyable evening. Various social events are arranged during the course of the year. Our building is also well used by a number of groups from the village, and we aim to offer a spiritual resource to the wider community. Our church is part of a 'circuit' of other Methodist churches in the West Hertfordshire area. Sunday worship is therefore led either by our Minister or a wide selection of preachers from around the circuit. There are also monthly communion services.
An important part of our mission is the ecumenical work that we do with other churches in the village, local and national organisations such as Christian Aid. We always look forward to welcoming new people into our church family, whether as occasional visitors or regular worshippers.
