St Andrew's welcomes everyone

At St. Andrew's we welcome everyone to our services: members of our church, visitors, or even if you have never been to a service before.

Each month, on the second Sunday, we hold a Family Service and, at Christmas, a Christingle Service, each especially designed to appeal to children of all ages. We also hold special services at the major feasts such as Easter and Christmas.

Services

The following services are planned at St. Mary's Bentworth, St. Mary's Lasham, St. Andrew's Medstead and St. Peter & St. Paul Shalden, in the coming weeks.

There may, occasionally, be late variations to the published guide; to confirm a particular service please contact a Churchwarden.

Readings at St. Andrew's services are taken from the Anglicised version of the New Revised Standard Version pew bibles. You may also search the NRSV online.

You are most welcome to join us for coffee in the Church Hall from midday, after our main 11am Sunday service. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other members of the congregation, renew old friendships and catch up on the latest news.

Please remember to put some extra cash in your pocket as there may also be cakes, marmalade, cards, plants and more, to buy.

We look forward to meeting you!
