Choir Practice

St Andrews Sewing Bee – Thursdays – 11am to 2pm in the Lodge (bring your lunch). You don’t even have to be a church member. If you would like to be involved, have design ideas, can make something new out of something old, then why not get involved? Many hands make light work and a great fundraising opportunity. We now have some projects to work on so please bring fabrics to make bunting and story bags, and sewing needles etc (we have a machine).
Church Cleaning – Friday afternoons at 2pm
Churchyard Tidy – Second Saturday of the month at 10am.
Next BIG churchyard tidy is 12 September in the morning.
Please join us even if you only have an hour to spare so that we can keep on top of the weeds!
Children’s Church. This service will be suspended during August but it is a wonderful service for children and families, and proving to be very popular. We need your help! Setting up, making refreshments, clearing away and most importantly – welcoming families – all part of Living and Loving at St Andrews. If you have not been before then why not come along and experience this style of worship, we do not have age limits, your help and support would be very much appreciated. Children’s Church will resume 3rd Sunday in September (20th).
Fundraising
A new group has formed to make a start with the ideas from the board.
If you would like to be part of this inspiring and active group, known as the M&M group (meetings and money/ social and fundraising!), then please talk to Heather Albless. Keep your eye on the notice board for events coming up.
Bible Challenge
Wednesday Evenings 7.30pm at church
A church that is not reading the bible together will not grow.
Come and join us in our bible challenge, reading from the beginning to the end!
It will be interesting, fun, you may even learn something! All welcome, we can even provide the bibles and if you can’t read well, you can enjoy listening. If you miss a week don’t worry, check the website to see where we have got up to and catch up.
