Youth Fundraiser Dinner: Curry Night
Our third annual Youth Fundraiser Dinner was a fantastic success! Thanks to the incredible support of our church community, we raised nearly £3,000 to help youth families in need and support the costs of our faithful volunteer leaders for the recently concluded spring retreat!
With over 130 people attending, and served by more than 30 young people throughout the evening, and many parents helping behind the scenes, we’re so grateful. Their time, energy, and generosity is what made the night possible.
See the video link below—and we hope to see you again next year!

Recurring Items
Giving at St Andrew's and St Bartholomew's
Generous giving is an integral part of Christian discipleship. The apostle Paul says that giving is a primary responsibility for Christians: But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. 2 Cor 8:7. For more information on how to give and where your money goes please download our giving flyer here.
Please click here to make a one-off donation or set up a direct debit.
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.
