Alpha 2025! Do you have a friend or family member you would like to introduce to the Christian faith?

The course starts on Monday 27th January, 6:30-8:30pm and runs for 8 weeks. Dinner included. For more information please see Philippa or Peter Cook (alpha@standrewsbaptist.org.uk).
PRAYER ITEMS FOR JANUARY:
Pray as the Spirit leads you – is there someone in particular brought to mind today? Maybe you could pray for the church leadership team, for rest after a busy time over Christmas and New Year? Or is there an event in our community that you could be prayerfully supporting? Is there an ongoing global issue that stirs your heart? Bring everything to God in prayer and pray maranatha – come, Lord Jesus.
The morning service starts at 10am, in-person and online, and includes crèche and Beacons Kids’ provision. The evening service starts at 6:30pm.
