🎥 Stories of community often live in the smallest details — a backpack at the altar, a smile in the pews, blessings reaching across generations.

At St John's Harpenden, the 9:30am All Age Eucharist gathers families young and old around bread, prayer, and belonging. Last week’s Blessing of the Bags marked the new school year with a gesture that was simple, yet powerful.

At JNL Collective, our role is to help shine a light on these moments so they can be seen, remembered, and shared more widely. It’s about amplifying the good that’s already happening, and making sure the stories of community and connection don’t go untold.

Community is built in the small moments — paint on little hands, toys across the hall, and a strong cuppa tea ☕ for the grown-ups.

Every Tuesday at St John's Harpenden , Little Acorns Baby and Toddler Group opens its doors — families connect, kids play, carers recharge.

JNL Collective loves seeing local spaces buzzing with connection, laughter… and cake (always cake 🍰).

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
