St Mary's church has been a focal point for Woodford Halse for hundreds of years and it is today. We happily welcome everyone to our services and events with a play area for children, cushions and blankets for winter days and refreshments. We have monthly Holy Communion and Cafe Church. The Holy Communion uses modern language while Cafe Church is an occasion of activities, prayers and tea, coffee and biscuits or cake. Music is usually provided by the Band. Musicians are welcome to join.
