Services

St Andrew’s has an unusual diversity of ages and backgrounds. You do not know whether the next person through the door will be 3 months or 93 years. Our worship reflects that diversity. Book of Common Prayer (BCP) Communion, Matins and Evensong are very traditional services. Our Family Service and All Age Communion try to be accessible to the widest possible range of ages. We also have regular informal and Iona services in the evening and occasional healing services.

We are very happy to Welcome Families to all of our services, and a play area is available should your children become bored!

Some past sermons are available in print (and some you can listen to).
