“You are dust, and to dust you shall return.” (Genesis 3:19)

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday - a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal. The ashes placed on our foreheads are a powerful reminder of our frailty, our dependence on God, and His endless mercy.

Join us for our Said Mass on Ash Wednesday as we begin this journey together. This is a time to pause, reflect, and return to God.

St Johns, Watford

Welcome to St John's Church, Watford. We believe God accepts us all equally, irrespective of race, sexuality, gender, social standing, age, belief or ability and strive to be a community that lives out that belief.

We are a diverse group of people, of different ages, nationalities and social backgrounds. What unites us is a faith in God, his son Jesus Christ and a desire to share that love with those around us through the power of the Holy Spirit, serving our community.

We celebrate the ministry of both women and men, rejoicing that the Church of England ordains people regardless of their gender to be Deacons, Priests and Bishops.
