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 o
ne
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.

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.

"Upon our old, insistent blindness, light shines down in living
beams; mercy falls like summer rain. Our depth of dimness, our long
night of fear and gloom, are banished... It is so. In his
unimaginable and enduring mercy, God claims us as His own for
ever.”
From ‘The Hidden Jesus’ by Donald Spoto, available in the
Parish Library
