Space To Live In - June 2nd
Our next worship night "Space To Live In" will be taking place on the 2nd of June starting at 7 pm and running through to 9:30 pm. Space To Live In is a night of extended worship, prayer, reflection and waiting. We aim to create a Space for people to spend time in God's presence. This will be replacing our usual Encounter service that day.

Bring and share - 9th June
Join us for a bring-and-share meal after the 10:30am service on Sunday, June 9th, in the large hall. It's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy delicious food and great company. Please bring a dish to share as we gather together to connect, celebrate, and strengthen our community. We look forward to seeing you there!

Baptisms - 7th July

Healthy Habits Booklet
John has put together a booklet based on the Healthy Habits series we have been working through in our all-age services, these are available to purchase (at cost price) from the office at £1. This is a great resource for connect group leaders or if you just want to look deeper into some of the healthy habits we have looked at. 

Living Out Evening
Join us on Tuesday 11th June 7.30pm at St Andrew's 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.  Living Out is committed to helping churches to support same-sex attracted Christians and to teach wisely and compassionately on sexuality.  For more details, and to sign up to this free event, click on the following link https://stastb.churchsuite.com/events/rqai005h

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.
