St Andrews enjoyed the Christmas season with services both on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which were well attended, within the restrictions of Covid. It was far from a normal time but the atmosphere was good and folk just enjoying being together to worship. This week our church will have a Holy Communion service with the Rev Matt Rowland and new ordinand Frances French. Frances has made a good beginning to her ministry and has made many friends already within the Mission Community and is enjoying sharing the lead in services. This weeks service will start at the usual time of 11am.           Â
