We're so grateful for our wonderful connection with St Albans Cathedral. ❤️
Each week, residents enjoy Holy Communion on Tuesdays at 3:30pm, providing a special time for reflection, prayer, and fellowship. On Wednesday mornings at 11:00am, our Home Group comes together for discussion, friendship, and shared faith.
And let's not forget our regular Sunday morning Cathedral live stream, which allows residents to join in worship and remain connected with the wider Cathedral community from the comfort of home.
These valued visits and services bring comfort, companionship, and spiritual support to many of our residents. Thank you to everyone at the Cathedral for being such an important part of our community. 🙏

☕🍰 Tea, Cake & Great Company! 🍰☕
Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful Tea & Cake Afternoon filled with laughter, conversation, and plenty of sweet treats! Our residents gathered together to relax, socialise, and indulge in a delicious selection of cakes and refreshments.
There’s nothing quite like sharing a cup of tea with friends, reminiscing, making new memories, and enjoying a slice (or two!) of cake. The room was full of smiles, chatter, and a lovely community spirit.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special. We are already looking forward to the next one! 💖

✨🎲 Yesterday's Scrabble Afternoon at Verulam House! 🎲✨
Yesterday, residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of Scrabble, bringing everyone together for friendship, laughter, and a little friendly competition. 💜
It was lovely to see residents making new friends, learning new skills, and working together to create words and score points. One of our ladies had never played Scrabble before, but with encouragement and support from the group, she soon joined in and had a fantastic time. 🌟
Activities like Scrabble are a great way to keep our minds active, build confidence, and enjoy quality time together. The room was filled with smiles, conversation, and plenty of fun throughout the afternoon.
Well done to everyone who took part. We’re already looking forward to the next game! 😊
