ABC is thriving – find out about it!

Since starting on 13 September, ABC (Adults, Babies, Children) has been full every week! Not only is it a time of play, songs, stories and refreshments for little ones, it’s also a time for their adults to have coffee and connect with others at the same stage of life. The feedback has been really positive and we are so pleased to see young families being able to meet together again.

For the moment, places are necessarily limited to 15 little ones with their adults, so please remember to book your place each week.

ABC runs every Monday in term time from 9.15-11am – Patrick and Belinda look forward to welcoming you.

Enjoy our refurbished playground!

A wonderful team of volunteers has worked very hard over the last few weeks to restore the outdoor playground (at the back of the church) to its former glory. Please stop by to admire it and bring your little ones to enjoy it too. There are also benches and seats for you to meet and chat, and don’t forget the coffee van at St Andrew’s every Friday from 8-12.30 and from 2.30-4pm!

Patrick’s Ordination!


Saturday 10 October is a special day when our curate, Patrick Davies, will be ordained. The service will take place at Holy Trinity, Claygate, for the candidates and their families, and it will be live streamed so that anyone else can watch at home.

Watch the live stream at 5pm on 10 October.

More details are available on the Guildford diocese website.

We encourage you all to encourage Patrick by joining the event online.

My ChurchSuite – What’s it all about?

Some of you are already My ChurchSuite users; others have recently received an invitation by email to ‘login’ and start using My ChurchSuite; others of you will receive an invitation in the near future. Eventually, we hope that everyone in the church family will join My ChurchSuite, so that we can connect with each other and make use of the many useful features that it offers us – as individuals and as a church.

The benefits include having access to contact details of church family members; being able to see dates when you are on a particular rota; being able to show your unavailability; being able to arrange swaps, and over time, more features will be added.

As this is new to many, we have written some FAQs to help guide you through the early stages of logging in and using My ChurchSuite. We trust that these will get you started, but there’s no doubt that the best way to learn is to practice! And we also trust that you’ll be only too pleased to do so, once you realise how useful it is.
