St Andrew's

Whats On

Welcome to Lincoln and Tereza Harvey
The Revd Dr Lincoln Harvey – to give him his full title – will be licensed as associate priest on 30th January by the Bishop of Kensington at the same service as I shall be made vicar of St Andrew’s. This morning we shall have the opportunity to welcome Lincoln and Tereza and I am sure that we shall make them most welcome.

Poetry Please

Confirmation
I am glad that I have been given a good number of names of people – adult and young person - who would like to be confirmed. There is room for more, so please add your name to the list on the piano. There will be a meeting to agree arrangements on Saturday 28th January at 1100 in the St Andrew’s Star Centre for anyone who is thinking about confirmation. Confirmation is about confirming for oneself what was done on our behalf at infant baptism, or where someone has not been baptized, it is an opportunity to make a commitment to the Christian faith and is normally associated with beginning to receive the bread and wine of the Holy Communion and taking part in the worshipping life of the church.
It is also an opportunity for people who would just like a ‘refresher’ to explore further and deepen their understanding and commitment.
This first meeting is to talk about arrangements for meeting together and a date for confirmation, probably in May.
Please put your name on the list if:
You are considering baptism or confirmation for yourself
You are thinking about first communion for your child
You have a friend or family member who is wondering about church and Christianity.

29th March Quiz Night
