Sunday Services - notice of temporary closure of St Andrew's Church

Church Full 2

During September and October 2025, St Andrew's Church will be closed for the installation of a new, energy-efficient heating system to replace the old oil-fired boiler. As a result, we will be holding our Sunday morning services in the Church Centre, except for joint Benefice services with St Peter's Church. Services in the Church Centre will start at 10 am as usual during September. But please note that from October, services for St Andrew's Church will move to the earlier time of 9:30 am as a permanent change. Benefice services held at St Peter's will be at 11 am.

There is parking available at St Andrew's Church Centre and along our private access road, including an accessible bay in the Church Centre car park.

Parking at St Peter's Church is extremely limited. The local X6 and X7 buses currently run on Sundays, with the closest bus stop being Elton Road, approximately a five minute walk from the church.

Confidential Prayer Ministry

At the end of each Sunday morning service in St Andrew's Church Centre, we offer confidential prayer ministry. During the church closure, this will take place in the Walter's Lounge or Rees Room, as directed on the day. Alternatively, you can send your prayer request to us using our Prayer Request Form.

Sermon Recordings

During the church closure, we hope to continue the facility to record sermons in the Church Centre. Please see our Recent Recordings page to listen.

If you have any questions about our Sunday Services or need to get in touch with us about any other enquiry we will be happy to help. Please Contact Us for more information.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know beforehand what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet in St Andrew's Church (details here) for our Sunday services starting at 10:00 am. For more details on our schedule of services, check here.

During September and October 2025, St Andrew's Church will be closed for the installation of a new, energy-efficient heating system to replace the old oil-fired boiler. As a result, we will be holding our Sunday morning services in the Church Centre, except for joint Benefice services with St Peter's Church. For further details see here.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access to both the Church and the Church Centre. We have two designated accessible parking spaces on our private access road close to the church building, and one in the car park by the Church Centre. We have a sound loop in the church. Please sit in a pew in the main body of the church (not in the South Aisle by the entrance), behind the entrance gangway, where there are signs in front of the pews with the loop system logo, in order to take advantage of this facility. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will guide you. There are no toilets in the church building. The nearest toilets are available in the Church Centre, including an accessible toilet.

Modern layout of church - hear

Our Sunday Service

The service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from one of our team, and usually with notices if applicable. We use a variety of modern liturgy and sung worship which ranges from traditional hymns to modern worship songs. We include readings from the Bible and a sermon which aims to explain the scriptures and to apply them to our lives. Some of our readings and sermons follow the Church of England lexionary, and some form part of themed sermon series. The length of the service is usually about one hour.

Church Full 2

After the service, we serve refreshments in the St Andrew's Church Centre. It is a great way to get to know one another. All refreshments are free.

What about children?

Our children's activities take place at other times than the main church service (see here). However, we love children coming to our church services with their parents, and throughout the service we have a range of children's activities available in the St Thomas Chapel, for use under parental supervision. You can still hear what's going on in the main service from there, and be assured - we really don't mind the sound of children enjoying themselves!

Getting Connected

Home Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our home groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Home Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
