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.

Gospel Reading for Trinity Sunday 3 June 2007

John 16: 12-15

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Quote of the Week

"This is what God is like.  The loneliness, the isolation, the grief of the human heart: the kindness of God reaches out to this as to nothing else.  This is what God thinks of human loss:  He fills it.  In Jesus we see how utterly seriously God takes us and our suffering.  He is no mere God of plans and systems, but the lover of the human heart.  Here philosophical language fails, for you and I are not moved to love the Changeless One, the omniscient Creator, the Absolute, the Unmoved Mover.  No, we are warmed by the nearness of Him who is close, who draws always near.”

From “The Hidden Jesus” by Donald Spoto, available in the Parish Library.
