The town has many new housing developments, and a large number of people commute the 35 miles to London to work. The Anglican Parish Widford reaches from the south west corner to the Central Park. The Parish Church of St. Mary's Widford is built on a site which is thought have been used as a site of worship for 900 years. The Anglican Churches of St. Mary's and the Church of the Holy Spirit with The Way exist to help people who are seeking to serve and who want to get closer to God. We want to share the good news that Jesus is alive and well, and living by His Spirit in the lives of those who love and serve Him.
Involvement ranges from sharing the faith to making the coffee.
Both Contemporary and traditional worship are encouraged in the Parish. I joined the Church 11 years ago and can honestly say that the Christian kindness shown to me by ordinary people in the Church was instrumental in growing my faith and becoming increasingly involved.
