All services are now in St Thomas.
Clocks go forward this Sunday.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:14, NIV)
This Sunday is Mothering Sunday, originally a day for people to return to their mother church. This might be their home church, cathedral, or the nearest large church. A day to recall their introduction to the Christian faith. More recently, this has become synonymous with Mother’s Day: a day to recall and celebrate the impact mothers have on our lives, and to celebrate family life.
In our readings, we’ll read about Love, and how is brings together all other virtues from God. Why not join us on Sunday, and see how amazing love is?
We’re also being joined by Northaw School’s Choir.
You would be very welcome at our 10:30am service in St Thomas, Northaw or at 9am for a service of Holy Communion in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday.
With our move to St Thomas, we haven't managed to get our streaming set up in place yet. If we are able to put it in place, we hope to do that in the next few weeks.
Children’s Church
There is no children’s church this Sunday, as we all meet together in the St Thomas.
Clocks Change
The clocks go forward this Sunday (30th March).
10:30 Services
From 30th March (Mothering Sunday), our 10:30 services will take place in St Thomas, Northaw.
Heating work at St Andrew’s
The work for the heating in St Andrew’s is starting on Monday 24th March. From that date, all our services will need to be in St Thomas. We’ll publicise all the changes and updates as soon as we are able to. The work plan allows work to go on until 1st August, but we are hopeful that it won't take that long.
A new organ for St Andrew’s
We have been offered a pipe organ to replace the non-working electronic one. The cost for this is £5,000, if you might be able to donate towards this, please be in touch with Chris, the vicar.
60 Years of St Andrew’s
The current St Andrew’s building was consecrated on 30th November, 1965. To mark and celebrate 60 years of the building, we are planning a range of events during the year, culminating in a service on 30th November 2025.
Bible Reading Resources
There are a lot of resources available online to help with Bible reading. A few of them are here, in case they are helpful for you.
Home Communion
If you’re not able to join us on Sundays, and would appreciate a visit with Holy Communion, please be in touch with Chris.
Rotas
We’re currently using self-signup for the various rotas: blank rotas will be pinned up at the back of St Andrew. If you are one of our regular welcomers, readers, pray-ers, communion assistants, or refreshment helpers, please do sign up where you are able to.
Rotas for services in April are now available. Readings, etc., are in the folder underneath the board with the rotas on.
If you don’t already help, and this would be something you would like to do, please talk to Chris.
