Come along to the church to warm up and enjoy some festive refreshments whilst admiring our enormous Christmas Tree during the Friday Night Royston Town Christmas Lighting up evening.
In addition, there will be...
CHRISTMAS JUMPER/BAUBLE SWAP EVENT: Please dig out your Christmas decorations early this year and give them a dust off and sort through. Royston Environmental Group will be in church with us on 28th and 29th November for their Christmas Jumper and Decoration swap. They will collect donations of seasonal clothing or tree decorations in advance or on the day. Simply exchange your donation for a swap token and take away something new to you. It may also be possible to "swap" something for a cash donation if you don't have anything to donate, depending on stock. If you fancy a different look this year, for yourself or for your tree, bring along your old seasonal clothing or tree decorations and swap them for something new to you. Make this Christmas green not white! You can swap decorations for socks, or a jumper for baubles. If you have donations of good quality, clean clothing or decorations you would like to have collected or drop off in advance, please contact [email protected] or 07968 006018 to arrange.

Royston Parish Church (Herts)

Hello and Welcome to Royston Parish Church in the heart of the town of Royston (Hertfordshire). Focused on God, we want to be a growing fellowship of believers, who are being encouraged and developed at all stages in our faith journey and who are reaching out to and serving the people of Royston.

 You are warmly invited to come along to our services.  Our main services are on Sundays at 9am and 10:30am.   We also host many other events such as our monthly Tea Time Praise service, Tots in Church, house-groups, socials – see our What's On/News and Notices pages for details.  We are participating in the "Eco Church" awards scheme and are currently at "Bronze" status.

In November 2023 we reopened our stunning church in the heart of Royston after nearly four years of building work following a serious fire in December 2018. We have taken the opportunity to refurbish the church so that it now provides a light, warm, flexible space with disabled access and facilities.   We are open on weekdays from 9-4pm and on Saturday and Sunday mornings for services and coffee, so do drop in to enjoy this peaceful, prayerful space.

Please have a look around this site to find out more or visit our website. We are also on Facebook. If you have any queries about christening, weddings or the reading of Banns of Marriage, do get in touch with us on [email protected]
