The preacher was the Archdeacon Helen of St Albans, who also took the opportunity to license Revd Annie Hogg as a part-time volunteer member of the team staff. Worship was led by the combined choirs of Christ Church, Radlett, and Aldenham Parish Church, with an opening song by St Martin's Shenley Junior Choir, and a drama by members of Radlett Impact (church youth group). After the service refreshments prepared by members of all three parishes were served in the church and there was a great sense of fellowship among people of all ages.
Other normal
Sunday morning services at Christ Church and St John's in Radlett and St
Martin's in Shenley were cancelled to enable everyone to meet together for this
special occasion. The Team Vicar of Aldenham, Revd Robert Fletcher, celebrated
Communion. Revd Vincent Oram from Shenley, who is also Rural Dean for local
Anglican churches, presented Annie for her licensing, and prayers were led by
Revd William Hogg, Team Vicar of Radlett and Rector of the new team. It was a
joyful and happy occasion with over 200 people gathered in this beautiful old
church. |
