As planned, the builders are now on site and hard at work tackling the clearance of the ancillary buildings, in preparation for their refurbishment! As you can see from the pictures below, they have been removing ceilings, walls and cupboards as required, and dealing with the electrics, alarms, etc.; they are on schedule.
St Andrew’s is now in full ‘business as usual’ mode! The arrangements for using different venues across the village are working well. But we still need to be flexible, so do check the Weekly News and elsewhere on this website for details of the timing and location of services, meetings and other events.
The Church Office has been relocated for the duration of the project to the southwest corner of the church itself – a complicated move in itself, with power, telephones, printers, wi-fi, etc. – so opening hours will be more limited, but contact by email or telephone will be picked up as promptly as possible.
Thank you again for all your ongoing support and prayers.
I got this from Guildford Cathedral gift shop and it reminds me and us about love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self -control – and the cross is just something extra!
I’m usually sitting on a shelf amongst Cosy Bear, Spots, Memories and Best. These are all mugs my owner Adele uses depending on how she is feeling on a particular day.
When I was training for ordination at Trinity College in Bristol, I would often take a walk across Durdham Downs to Clifton Village during our weekly quiet morning – a dedicated time of silence, for prayer and reflection. I would usually find a nice little coffee shop, and spend an hour or so with a book and a mug.
Caelyn and Elijah Lim successfully completed their epic trek up Mount Snowdon, along with their Mum, to raise vital funds for the London’s Air Ambulance Charity – the first people to respond when their dear Papa needed help. In August it will be 10 years since they lost their Dad in a cycling accident.
