Here are the services and other events coming up in Little Gaddesden Parish Church in the next few days.
Services are held at Little Gaddesden Church unless otherwise stated.
Midweek Discussion Group on Zoom
The Midweek Discussion Group meeting via Zoom on Wednesday evenings are now underway.
The sessions start with a general welcome chat to hear how everyone is getting on, then some discussion often centred around a Bible passage, with a short time of prayer at the end. Everyone will be considered to be fully present if they have signed in, but there is no need to say or share anything. You can spend the whole time ‘mute’ if you wish!
There are the usual protocols about confidentiality, as anything shared must be respected as being confidential to the group. All are welcome, but if inviting others please contact Anthony first.
The current schedule is as follows:
- 9 June Gifts of the Holy Spirit (1) Wisdom
- 16 June Gifts of the Holy Spirit (2) Understanding
- 23 June Gifts of the Holy Spirit (3) Counsel
- 30 June Gifts of the Holy Spirit (4) Fortitude

- 14 July Gifts of the Holy Spirit (5) Knowledge
- 21 July Gifts of the Holy Spirit (6) Piety/Fear of the Lord
- 28 July Evening Prayer
- 4 August Introduction to Joshua – the issue of Violence in the Old Testament
Do keep the ideas coming about topics that you would like to consider.
Sign is at 19.55 hrs and the sessions end at 9.30pm sharp. The Zoom invitation is sent a few days beforehand, usually with some background material.
Please contact Anthony Archer on anthony.archer@bridgewaterassociates.co.uk or 07721 504125 with any questions
Midweek Holy Communion (Said Eucharist)
This midweek eucharist is a spoken service, based on a modernised Book of Common Prayer, generally held on Thursdays at 10:00am. It lasts for a little under half an hour.
Christian Aid Tea
The Strawberry Cream Tea in support of Christian Aid has been rescheduled for Saturday 31st July, 3pm-5pm.
Win a hamper of goodies in our raffle!
Christian Aid Week took place from 10th to 16th May. The 2021 appeal focuses on the impact of the climate crisis on those who live in poverty.
Thank you to everyone who donated to Christian Aid in May. We have already raised over £1,300 (including gift aid) through the Little Gaddesden online e-envelope and cash collections. We have a fundraising target of £1,500 for 2021 and are hoping to reach this through the proceeds from the Strawberry Cream Tea.
The e-envelope will remain open for donations until the beginning of August (extended from the end of June). Click on the logo or the following link:

Parish Communion
An adapted service with social distancing.
In Normal Times
A Sung Eucharist with Sunday School.
Our most frequent Sunday morning service follows the traditional Anglican Communion, or Eucharistic, service. We have traditional hymns and the Gloria and Responses sung to the Patrick Appleford setting of the Mass in E. The service lasts for almost an hour. Sunday School for children is held in the adjoining vestry during the service, with the children joining in at the communion. Refreshments are served afterwards.
Coffee and Cake in The Thomas Field Hall
Good company, home made cake, and really decent coffee! Or, yes, of course you can have tea.
