Holiday at Home 2024
From August 19th until August 23rd we helped host a wonderful Holiday at Home - guests enjoyed craft activities, quizzes, seated exercises, musical entertainment and the most delicious food. Over 60 people attended over the 4 days it ran, at both Hatfield Road and Marlborough Road Methodist Churches.
We are a city centre church in the heart of St Albans
Our Calling is to respond to the gospel of God’s love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.
We are called to let our whole way of life respond to God’s call, letting life grow in each one of us every day. Nurturing life in the Church, bringing life to the World.
This is the Methodist Way. The Methodist Church claims and cherishes its place in the wider Christian Church. For general information about our beliefs, emphases and practices, please click here.
Our church community is committed to being a good neighbour to people in need, to challenge injustice and to be friends with people of other cultures and faiths - read our mission statement here.
“Holiday at Home is something I look forward to every year, fun, fellowship and great food!”
