WELCOME TO ST MARY’S
A special welcome if you are new to our worship here at St Mary’s Church,
Redbourn. We would like to get to know you as soon as possible. To help us,
please fill in the slip provided in the holders at the end of each pew, and hand it to
one of the clergy or sidespeople as you leave today. Thank you.
All who normally take Communion, in this church or in any other church, are
welcome to receive Communion here. Those who do not take Communion, be
they young or old, should please come to the altar rail to receive God’s blessing.
If you are a taxpayer, please would you consider putting your collection into a
blue envelope and filling in the details required (available from a sidesperson
or in the pews). The church can then claim back the tax on your offering to the
church at no additional cost to you. Thank you.
Those giving by Standing Order may use a yellow token in the collection plate.
WILL VISITORS PLEASE NOTE that St Mary’s Church has an
Amplification and Loop System. If needed, please switch your
hearing aid to the “T” switch to make use of this.

Psalm 142
I cried unto the Lord`with my`voice:
yea even unto the Lord did I`make my`suppli`cation.
I poured out my com`plaints be`fore him: and`shewed him`of my`trouble.
When my spirit was in heaviness thou`knewest my`path:
in the way wherein I walked have they`privily`laid a`snare for me.
I looked also upon my`right`hand:
and saw there was`no man`that would `know me.
I had no place to`flee`unto: and no man`car-ed`for my`soul.
I cried unto thee O`Lord and`said:
Thou art my hope, and my portion`in the`land of the`living.
Consider`my com`plaint: for I am`brought`very`low.
O deliver me`from my`persecutors: for`they are too`strong for`me.
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks`unto thy`Name: which thing if
thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous re`sort`unto my`company.

BREAKFAST IS SERVED: On the first Sunday of the month we want to

welcome. The first one will be in a fortnight’s time on Sunday 2 November.
A chance to start your time at church with a family breakfast including
