Serving God in the heart of our community since 1881

St Andrew's Church, Taunton

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.

HOLY WEEK AND EASTER AT ST. ANDREW'S *and with our Local Ministry Group
Easter: the power of transforming love   The message of Holy Week and Easter is both simple and profound: there are no limits to God’s love. It’s not conditional. There is no point at which God says “that’s it – I wash my hands of you”. It’s an extraordinary message. A transforming message.   As Easter day dawns God offers us the opportunity to resurrect the life we were meant to live... lives not meant to conform to the world, but transform it!   Our prayer for you this Easter is that you will experience God's transforming love. We warmly invite you to join us at St. Andrew's for any of our special services.
Sunday 16 March Palm Sunday     8.00am: Holy Communion (said) A quiet and reflective start to Sunday.   10.00am: Parish Communion and The Railway Children An opportunity to offer the events of the past week to God, and to be renewed and nurtured in preparation for the week to come.

Quote of the Week

“In the beginning was the Word, and it is the Word that gives life.  But in the end there is silence.  The silence when all our halting and approximate words, even the finest and most memorable of them, come to an end.  The books are shut.  Poets Corner closes for the night.  And in the ensuing silence two things remain.  Gratitude; and wonder.” 

From Pray, Love, Remember by Michael Mayne, available in the Parish Library.
