All services are now in St Thomas.
When Jesus came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!’ (Luke 19:37-38, NIV)
This is the moment when Jesus enters Jerusalem, just a week before his death. What kind of welcome will he recieve? What does it say about him? How should we respond to Jesus?
You would be very welcome at our 10:30am service in St Thomas, Northaw or at 9am for a service of Holy Communion in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday.
With our move to St Thomas, we haven't managed to get our streaming set up in place yet. The internet available to use isn't good enough to stream from the church. We are still looking at solutions and, if we are able to put it in place, we will do so.
Children’s Church
Our children’s church meets this Sunday morning in Northaw School. Children are welcome from 10:20, and will join us in St Thomas towards the end of the service.
Easter services
All at St Thomas:
- Maundy Thursday, 8pm: Holy Communion
- Good Friday, 2pm: An hour at the Cross
- Easter Day, 10:30am: Easter Celebration, followed by Holy Communion
Electoral Roll
This year sees the full revision of the Electoral Roll for the parish: the roll is emptied, and a whole new roll will be formed. Electoral Roll forms are now available for completion, and need to be returned by Sunday 4th May. You will need to apply to be on the roll, even if you are currently on it.
Heating work at St Andrew’s
The work at St Andrew’s has begun. The first stage has been to clear the area and start to lay the new floor. You can follow the progress of the work online.
Gala Day
The timing of the works in St Andrew’s has meant that we have decided to postpone the planned Gala Day from 21 June to 20 September. We will be combining it with the planned Flower Festival.
A new organ for St Andrew’s
We have been offered a pipe organ to replace the non-working electronic one. The cost for this is £5,000, if you might be able to donate towards this, please be in touch with Chris, the vicar.
60 Years of St Andrew’s
The current St Andrew’s building was consecrated on 30th November, 1965. To mark and celebrate 60 years of the building, we are planning a range of events during the year, culminating in a service on 30th November 2025.
Good Friday Choir Service
The Good Friday Choir are singing Handel’s Messiah in a Good Friday Service at 7pm in Potters Bar United Reformed Church.
Bible Reading Resources
There are a lot of resources available online to help with Bible reading. A few of them are here, in case they are helpful for you.
Home Communion
If you’re not able to join us on Sundays, and would appreciate a visit with Holy Communion, please be in touch with Chris.
Rotas
We’re currently using self-signup for the various rotas: blank rotas will be pinned up at the back of St Thomas. If you are one of our regular welcomers, readers, pray-ers, communion assistants, or refreshment helpers, please do sign up where you are able to.
Rotas for services in April and May are now available.
If you don’t already help, and this would be something you would like to do, please talk to Chris.
