Welcome to St Mary’s, Rickmansworth where Christians have worshipped since the early part of the 13th Century.
Our church building is shared by the Church of England and Methodist Church with the two denominations sharing all services and administration, while continuing to nurture all that is best in both traditions.
Worship at St Mary’s is open to all Christians, as well as those who would like to be. Please come and visit us. You will find an active, thriving community and a friendly welcome.

This prayer is one to spend time over, adding your own images; it may be especially be appropriate during or after a holiday.
God the artist said,“Let there be light”
A rainbow arc; the sky bright blue
Or hues of sunset’s glow;
Green shades defining grass and trees,
With highlights of butterfly and kingfisher,
Butterfly and rose petal to be seen.
Let us give thanks to God the artist,
Beside whose work all human art
Can be but a pale copy
God the sculptor said, “Let there be life”.
Smooth curving fish in sea and stream,
Birds and insects in the air,
Plants and creatures on the ground
Or climbing up into the trees
And last of all was man.
We thank you God who when you made
Those lovely forms, you also breathed
The life that throbs within.
God the scientist saw
That what he had made was good:
Planets circling round the sun;
Interdependent life
With skill to swim and fly and run,
To heal themselves and reproduce;
Matter predictable and indestructible
And rays of light and sound.
Creator God, may we give thanks
And care for all you made.
