St Mary's Church, North Mymms

WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR ST MARY'S CHURCH, NORTH MYMMS

Our beautiful church has served the parish of North Mymms for over 700 years and continues to be a centre for worship, mission and prayer for the local communities of Brookmans Park, Welham Green and the surrounding area.

We are a warm and friendly church and seek to share the love of God in all that we do both inside and outside our church! Whether you are looking to join us for worship or for information about having a special event such as a baptism or wedding here, we would be delighted to welcome you to any of our services or social occasions.

People visit us from near and far. For some it’s a trip down memory lane – to visit the church they attended as a child or to remind themselves of their wedding day. Others come upon us by chance while out walking or cycling in the surrounding countryside. Many come to tend a grave or to light a candle for a loved one. Read what some of our visitors have said by following this link.    Whatever the purpose of your visit, our doors are always open.

The Licensing and Installation of the Reverend Ruth Barr as Team Vicar within the Team Ministry of Bishop’s Hatfield, with special responsibility for St Mary’s, North Mymms, will take place on Monday 23rd September 2019 at 7.30pm. Although some invitations have been sent out, the Service is open to all.

If you are able to come, please respond to northmymmschurch@btinternet.com no later than Monday 9th September.

Please ensure you allow plenty of time to arrive and park. Whilst there will be stewards directing traffic, spaces for everyone cannot be guaranteed. There are only 2 official disabled spaces, so for those who need assistance, or require wheelchair access, advance warning would be helpful.

The annual Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust Sponsored Bike 'n Hike takes place on 14th September.
Last year Bike 'n Hike raised almost £100,000 for the upkeep of ancient churches and chapels in the two counties.
Of every £1 raised by sponsorship, 50p is returned to the participant's church, and the other 50p, plus gift aid, goes to the Trust.

This year you can use your car to get to the areas chosen and see some lovely churches, often within reasonable walking distance, and Peter and Sheila Hoile are doing just that! Sheila has set up a Just Giving Page for their challenge.
You can support Peter and Sheila by following this link https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sheila-hoile.

If you would like to participate, please contact Martin Wiggs for further information at mwiggs@talktalk.net or visit http://www.b-n-h.co.uk
