We add here services which take place regularly and those marking particular events in the Christian Calendar. We usually live stream our Sunday 9:30am Sung Eucharist on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/StNicholasChurchHarpenden Details of the services in all 3 churches in the Parish in Harpenden can be found on our website https://parishofharpenden.org

Choral Evensong

Occurring
Every First, Second, Third, Fourth Sunday at for 1 hour
Venue
St Nicholas, Harpenden
Address
Church Green (right in the town centre) Harpenden, AL5 2TP, United Kingdom

A traditional service from the Book of Common Prayer beautifully led by our excellent choir. One of the jewels of our culture, and open to everyone: come as you are, sit back, and let the music wash over you.

During school holidays and on 5th Sundays in the month, other services may replace Choral Evensong.

Midweek Eucharist

Every Wednesday at for 40 mins
Venue
St Nicholas, Harpenden
Address

A quiet midweek, mid-morning service of Holy Communion - no hymns, no frills, and a short sermon.

This lovely service attracts a small friendly community who often go afterwards for coffee in Cornelia's Cafe just across the path in our Church Hall.

Holy Communion (BCP)

Venue
St Nicholas, Harpenden
Address
Church Green (right in the town centre) Harpenden, AL5 2TP, United Kingdom

A quiet and reflective service of Holy Communion, using the traditional service from the Book of Common Prayer. It includes a sermon and draws a small but varied congregation who enjoy the peace and tranquility of worship in the early morning.

A shorter version of this service (without sermon) takes place on the first Saturday of each month.

Four times a year the service is adapted and led by our children and young people (Harvest Festival, Mothering Sunday, Epiphany and St Albans Day at the end of June)

Morning Praise

Simply Worship

Occurring
Monthly. Every First Sunday at for 45 mins
Venue
St Nicholas, Harpenden
Address
Church Green (right in the town centre) Harpenden, AL5 2TP, United Kingdom

Our service especially designed for children and families - a relaxed, simple and short service accessible to all, usually with a craft activity. It attracts a good crowd, especially those who find it difficult to come on a Sunday morning. There are refreshments afterwards in the Church Hall.

We usually gather on the first Sunday of the month - but check the website for details.
