ST MARY’S CHURCH, HITCHIN

A Warm Welcome to

ST MARY’S CHURCH, HITCHIN

Our regular Sunday Communion Services are at 8 am and 10 am in Church. Midweek communion takes place at 11am on Wednesdays. After our services at 10 am on Sunday and 11 am on Wednesdays do stay and join us for a coffee and a chat. Our ‘One Bread’ inclusive service on the first Sunday of each month is a more relaxed version of our worship.

Evensong with our choir is held twice per month and there are also early evening services and monthly meetings of our ‘Theological Society’ in between.

For updates and more details please follow our Facebook and Instagram pages each week as listed below and see our posters.

LIVESTREAMED Services on Sundays are available to watch live at 10 am, 6.30 pm or anytime afterwards on our Youtube channel available on this link: https://www.youtube.com/c/stmaryshitchin

A Million for St Mary’s

St Mary’s is launching a new appeal to raise funds for important facilities to be built into the Church. Currently we have a lovely medieval church but we need to upgrade to a 21st Century level in some key ways!
To provide toilets inside the building, with water and drainage for the first time in 1200 years and a small servery area plus some infrastructure like better heating we need to raise almost £1 million. As a Grade 1 historic building costs are high because of the fundamental work that is needed

For full details please follow the link HERE https://www.stmaryshitchin.co.uk/a-million-for-st-marys-renewal/ and this is the special link to donate direct to the appeal HERE https://givealittle.co/c/6omADxD1YQCEVd6QobXnrm . We hope it will enable St Mary’s to provide a better service to the community who use the building for many and varied uses as well as its primary purpose of worship.

Message from Rev Chris Bunce

Dear Friends,
 I am very pleased to say that work will start from 20th January on the first phase of our project to upgrade facilities in the church, providing a Community Hub and helping to protect the future of our iconic building and it’s uses.
 
The North side windows with badly degraded stonework will be restored over the next few months by expert stonemasons. 
 
This will disrupt some of our regular activities and services, so thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
 
There will be some disruption in the Churchyard too, as the path on the north side of the church will be blocked off, and there will be regular deliveries of building supplies. 
 
After Easter we will begin to install a modern plant room, with up to date plumbing, wiring and better heating arrangements.
 
We are still fundraising to get this work completed, so please take a look at our special area on the website which explains in more detail, and follow the link to donate if you are able to help this ambitious undertaking.

With best wishes, on behalf of

The Rev’d Christopher Bunce
