We are excited to announce that on Saturday 4th May 2024, the Abaana New Life Choir will be coming to perform for us, here at St. Andrew's. It will be an amazing night for all the family as this incredible group of Ugandan children perform a range of worship and traditional African music and dances while sharing about what God is doing in Uganda.

We are also looking for 10 households from church who would be able to host 2 choir members and a chaperone each on the night of the concert. If you feel that this is something you might be able to do or if you want some more information please speak to Victoria Churton or send her an email (toribell045@gmail.com).

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.
