Serving God in
the heart of our community since 1881
St
Andrew's Church, Taunton
St Andrew's welcomes our new Vicar Jim Cox, his wife Doreen, and their
children Natasha, Chloe and Thomas
Jim's Institution and Induction as our Vicar took place on Tuesday 2
October, with the The Bishop of Taunton and Archdeacon of Taunton, a
large number of the St. Andrew's community, and with many
representatives of Jim's previous parish in Smethwick. All had come to
wish Jim well in his new ministry and welcome the family to their new
home.
All of us at St. Andrew's pray that Jim, Doreen and
their family will share many years of fellowship, joy, peace and
fulfilment with us at St. Andrew's.
Please come to Jim's first Sunday services, this
Sunday 7 October. See below for details.
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.
If you have any questions or
suggestions please do contact us using the 'Get in Touch'

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.
Worship at St. Andrew's Church Taunton UK

Seventeenth Sunday after
Trinity
Weekdays
Sunday 7 October
Eighteenth Sunday after
Trinity
8.00am: Holy Communion
(said)
A quiet and reflective start to Sunday.
10am:
Local Ministry Group united service at All Saints Church, Halcon.
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. A warm welcome awaits you at this sung
Eucharist, which is at the heart of our weekly pattern of worship at St.
Andrew's.
The apostles said to the
Lord, ‘Increase our
faith!’ The Lord
replied, ‘If you had
faith the size of a
mustard seed, you could
say to this mulberry
tree, “Be uprooted and
planted in the sea”, and
it would obey you.
‘Who among you would
say to your slave who
has just come in from
ploughing or tending
sheep in the field,
“Come here at once and
take your place at the
table”? Would you not
rather say to him,
“Prepare supper for me,
put on your apron and
serve me while I eat and
drink; later you may eat
and drink”? Do you thank
the slave for doing what
was commanded? So you
also, when you have done
all that you were
ordered to do, say, “We
are worthless slaves; we
have done only what we
ought to have done.'"
Quote of the Week
“Those who write of the impact of Jesus upon them are saying: ‘Look!
Listen! A child is born and a man dies, and in the story of that
birth and that life, in images of water and bread, in damaged lives
healed and in people forgiven and set free, and on a wooden cross
and in an upper room a new way of living becomes possible, a new
creation is set in being, and a whole new understanding of God is
revealed.’”
From This Sunrise of Wonder by Michael Mayne, available in
the Parish Library.
