We welcome you to our website

"St. Andrew's is a community of celebration and of hope"

This is how one of our church members recently described St Andrew's, and our aim is for this website to capture that spirit online - our faith, our worship, our people, and our community. We hope that you will enjoy looking around, and will come back often, as the site is updated every week.

 

Our church is first of all a spiritual centre, a place where people can find God, be nourished in their spiritual journey, and grow in their life of faith. If you could come along to one of our services your presence would be a joy to us and to God.

 

If you have any questions or suggestions please do contact us using the 'Get in Touch' button.  You will find all of our contact details there, including access to a location map. We also love to know a little more about our web guests, and would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to sign our Visitors' Book. 

 

Again, welcome and thank you for visiting our site.

Gospel Reading for Trinity Sunday 10 June 2007

Luke 7: 11-17

Soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’ Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, ‘Young man, I say to you, rise!’ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, ‘A great prophet has risen among us!’ and ‘God has looked favourably on his people!’ This word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding

Quote of the Week

“I believe that God calls us to be one with him, with ourselves, with every other human being, with all creation.  I cannot believe that he has made us restless until we rest in him if at death we cease to be and are no more.  The news is too good to end at death.”

From “In Search of a Way” by Gerard Hughes, available in the Parish Library.
