Living Out Evening
Join us on Tuesday 11th June 7.30pm at St Andrews for an evening with Revd Sean Doherty, Principal of Trinity Theological College, and part of an organisation called 'Living out', who are a resource organisation who help people, churches and society talk about faith and sexuality. There will be a mixture of personal stories, theology and an opportunity for Q&A.

Pastoral Care
As part of our Christian community, we provide mutual support for one another. Much of this happens informally with friends within the church and through the connect groups. However, sometimes people will require more personal support and encouragement either as a 'one-off chat' or on a more ongoing basis. We have a pastoral care team who can provide this type of care. Please contact Nigel Roe (Team Leader) on 07780 994827 or Rosi White on 07426 357967.
