Welcome message from the Vicar of St Mary's Church

St Mary's Parish Church is Harefield's oldest building. More importantly it is a place of worship and prayer for a lively Christian family, as well as being an important focal point for the wider Harefield community. We believe that life without faith is incomplete. We try to be a Church that welcomes everyone, and enables all - whatever their starting point - to explore and grow in the Christian faith. We hope you find this site helpful. If you need more information, please refer to the contact box below. Our real prayer is that it may whet your appetite to get in touch, and perhaps to come and join us!

Rev Martin Davies

Martin is running the Royal Parks Half Marathon

on Sunday 13 October 2019 in aid of ‘Farm Africa’ which St Mary’s has been supporting over the years. Farm Africa is a UK-based charitable organisation set up in 1985 that works with farmers and communities in eastern Africa. The charity provides training to help these groups to grow more food, look after their livestock and make a living using their natural resources sustainably.

If you would like to sponsor him, sponsor forms are now available in church or from the parish office (01895 825960) or give via this internet link:

Noticeboard

Confirmation 2020

Is anyone considering being ‘Confirmed’ next year?

Please let Martin know. There are a people showing interest. We will need to contact the Bishop about organising a date for the service.

‘Confirmation’ is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptised. If you were baptised at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may now be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ.

At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself.

Your friends and family as well as the local Christian community will be there to promise to support and pray for you.

The Bishop will lay hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of your life.
