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

Quote of the Week

“Whenever we deny and quash truth, the one who is truth stands before us, waiting, loving and believing that somehow, in the end, we will hear him and allow his presence to transform the darkness of injustice with his merciful light”

From ‘'The Way of the Cross - Meditations on the Death of Jesus’

by Katharine Smith.

During our interregnum please join with all of us

at St. Andrew's in the Vacancy Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, our friend and saviour, you promised to be with us always, until the end of time.

We thank you for being with those whose vision led to the founding of St Andrew’s Church.

We thank you for being with the men, women and children who, since then, have filled the church with prayer, praise and thanksgiving.

Be with us now as we live out today’s chapter in the story of your people at St Andrew’s.

Be with all those who carry the responsibility of leadership in our parish life, especially Stephen and June, our Wardens, and all members of our PCC. Help each of us to play our part; to love and serve each other and, above all, to serve you in the heart of this community.

We pray for all involved in the process of appointing a new incumbent and for the person you are calling to join us.

Help us to face the future with faith and courage; to keep alive the vision that brought this church into being and to become the people you want us to be.

Lord Jesus Christ, help us to trust in your love and faithfulness and to serve you with joy and thanksgiving now and always.

Amen.
