UPDATE ON WORSHIP SERVICES:
As a result of recent Government health guidelines and on instruction from the College of Bishops all services of public worship at Saint Andrew’s, St Andrews and other Episcopal churches in our Diocese are discontinued with immediate effect and until further notice. Additionally, all gatherings of groups within the congregation such as Ministry Team, Vestry, Choir, home-groups and others are cancelled for the foreseeable future, and these groups should not meet.
That’s the bad news!
The good news is that our church building will remain open between 9am-5pm daily whenever we can facilitate this, and anyone is welcome to come and sit, reflect, and perhaps pray for those whose lives are being most seriously affected by the current health crisis.
Please check this page or our home page regularly for updates.

Sunday Services
Worship in Saint Andrew's encompasses a number of different forms and styles, drawing creatively on the rich liturgical and musical heritage of Anglicanism in conjunction with a range of wider Christian sources.
Our main Sunday service is at 10am when upwards of 100 members gather around the Lord's table to share in the Eucharist together. We use contemporary liturgies and a wide variety of musical styles. Most of our main eucharistic services are led by a robed choir and a team of worship leaders, lay and clerical. On the first Sunday of the month we have a more informal, all-age service of Holy Communion in the Nave. Another feature of morning worship in Saint Andrew's is the ministry of preaching and teaching which lies at its heart.
One of the delights of Anglican worship is its choral tradition, especially in its settings of the daily offices. Saint Andrew's has a long and distinguished heritage in offering the service of Choral Evensong weekly at 5pm on Sundays throughout most months of the year. This quiet, reflective service includes prayers, readings from Scripture and choral settings of the evening office. A tonic for the hustle and bustle of the week, and an opportunity to realign our lives with God's purposes and promises.
All are ensured of a warm welcome at any of our Sunday services.
