Alpha
St Andrew’s will be running its
third Alpha course on Thursday evenings beginning April 10th.
The evenings take place at the Vicarage at
7pm
and include a
meal, a talk on some aspect of the Christian faith, followed by discussion in a
small group. The previous two
courses have been extremely popular; providing as they do an opportunity to make
new friends, ask whatever questions you have about faith.
The course is not prescriptive but gives everyone a chance to air their
views and to learn from each other. Anyone
interested should contact Lesley Harrison on 7646 4614.

Police
Surgeries
Police
surgeries are to be held at St Andrew’s Church from March onwards
The
purpose of these surgeries, which they intend to hold on a regular basis (on the
first Wednesday at 2pm and Thursday at 7.30pm of each month), will be to make
themselves known to the community they serve, to provide crime reduction
information and advice as a proactive measure to reduce the opportunity for
individuals becoming victims of crime, and also to answer any questions
concerning crimes in the area. Please do come along if you have any
concerns or questions.
Lunch
n Chat Lunch n Chat
is now a regular meeting in support
of those who have lost loved ones over this last year. We recognise that the
early stages of bereavement are not just painful, but can be very isolating for
some. Hence, we are offering an opportunity for folks to be served a simple meal
( soup and roll) ; and have someone to talk to who understands something of the
difficulties being experienced and has time to listen. This small group will
meet in the side room of the church from 11.45am to 1.45pm fortnightly, and is
open to anyone living in the parish. If you would like to attend, contact Greg
Smith ( 7642 2856) or Beryl Allen |
