| The altar servers lead the choir and clergy into the church with the cross and candles. They receive the bread and wine and help prepare it for communion. They then direct members of the congregation up to the front of the church to receive communion or a blessing. New altar servers are welcomed. |  |

The Tower Ringers meet for practice every Wednesday from 7.30-9.15pm. Our bellringers ring the bells from 9.15am to 10am and 5.15 to 6pm on Sundays to call parishioners to worship. The St Mary’s group is part of the Watford District of the Hertfordshire County Association of Bellringers. If you’re aged 12 or over then you might like to consider joining the bellringers. [We also have an active group of Handbell ringers who always welcome new friends to join them.] |

Adults and children are invited to join our church choir. The choir meets every Thursday in the church with children starting practice at 7pm and adults at 8pm. The sessions run until 9pm. The choir performs in the church every Sunday from 10am and during Choral Evensong from 6pm on Sundays (six times a year). They also sing at carol services, weddings and are often invited to perform carols at various venues in the area. If you enjoy singing and would like to join the choir, please get in touch with our choir mistress Sue Murdoch. Please note that children must be able to read fluently if they wish to join in but newcomers don’t need to be able to read music. |

This is another word for 'prayers'. For the Parish Communion services, these are usually led by members of the congregation who write their own prayers using some general guidance notes and following a general pattern. Click here for more information about Prayer. |
