NOTICES:
The Special Offering during the Communion service on Sunday 22 June 2025 will support Mihai in his ministry, “Hope for Tomorrow’s Generation”. Many children are unable to afford basic school essentials, like books and stationery, and so Mihai and Adriana put together school bag parcels to help children, as they start school in the new term.
Transport Ministry: If you are struggling to get to church, or to healthcare appointments, email transport@standrewsbaptist.org.uk or leave a message on 07388 616629. The coordinator will get in touch with you, and we will do our best to help you where we can.
Sticky Saints is a club for primary school aged children every Monday in term time usually from 4pm and is a space for creativity! All materials provided. Children must attend with an adult, tea/coffee provided. Please book online: https://shorturl.at/xiyUG. There is a suggested donation per session of £2 per child/£5 per family, paid on the day. Younger siblings can be accommodated.
Every summer the churches in St Andrews come together to hold a Holiday Club. This is always a lot of fun involving bible stories, songs, games, crafts and challenges. This year’s holiday club will run in the mornings from Tuesday 12th until Friday 15th August. If you would be interested in volunteering or would like more information please speak to Jenny or email jenny@standrewsbaptist.org.uk.
