Welcome to St Mary's

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.

Let us pray...

A prayer for May
Lord of life, as we experience the joys of lengthening days and the song of the birds and wonder at buds opening to reveal each new leaf or flower, may we rejoice in your parting gift of new life to us and look forward to the greater joys and wonders that await us in your eternal presence when our time on earth ends. Amen
A prayer for June

Just for Today

Author unknown

JUST FOR TODAY, I will try to live through this day only, and not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for 12 hours that would appal me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY I will be happy. Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my luck as it comes and fit myself into it.

JUST FOR TODAY I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt. They may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

JUST FOR TODAY I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticise just one bit, and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.

JUST FOR TODAY I will have a programme. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from hurry and indecision.

JUST FOR TODAY I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax. During this half-hour, sometime, I will try to get my life into better perspective.

JUST FOR TODAY I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
