Serving God in the heart of our community since 1881

St Andrew's Church, Taunton

"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.

Again, welcome and thank you for visiting our site.

John 13: 31-35

The New Commandment

When he had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, “Where I am going, you cannot come.” I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’

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.
