Welcome to Our Churches

Welcome from the Vicar

Welcome to our parish website! Our two churches (St. Lawrence’s in Abbots Langley, and the Church of the Ascension – ‘the tin church’ – in Bedmond) are here so people can hear the good news of Jesus, get closer to God and each other, and help change the world for the better. You’ll find all sorts of information on this site about our services and everything else we do. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just give us a call. Whatever your reason for visiting: welcome!
