Business as usual at St Paul Hamstead

It’s business as usual for the 125 year-old-church of St Paul Hamstead, following the appointment of Rev. Smitha Prasadam to St. Alban’s, Copenhagen.

Reverend Smitha, who was vicar at St. Paul’s for eleven years, was licensed as Chaplain in her new parish, on Saturday 16 June.

Parishioners are a hardy bunch and solider on with it’s Summer Events programme which is open to the public.

On Saturday 23 June from 12 noon – 2pm, the church has its annual Summer Fair in the vicarage garden and church.  There will be games, stalls, refreshments, and fun!

On Saturday 7 July at 10am, there is a free Men’s Breakfast followed by a conversation about prostate cancer presented by Desmond Jaddoo.  To book, visit https://stpaulhamstead.eventbrite.co.uk  or telephone 0121 369 0611.

Then on the same day at 2pm, there will be an afternoon Tea Dance in the Community Centre.   Only £5 admission which includes tea and cakes.

Church Warden, June Perks, said: “We had a lovely celebration which was a fitting ‘fare thee well’ to Smitha as she and the family leave St. Paul’s after eleven years of ministry here.  The church and the community are still very active, and things continue as normal.”
