To know Jesus better
and so to make Him better known
With the relaxation of government restrictions our services are again open to all without pre-booking. Most services are also live-streamed. For details see the COVID-19 page (under the SERVICES tab above) or the COMING UP page (under CHURCH LIFE above); or contact an appropriate person via the WHO'S WHO page (under ABOUT US) for full details.
St Andrew's during the Covid-19 pandemic
Sunday services
With the relaxation of government Covid-19 restrictions you no longer need to book to come to Holy Communion services in Church on Sundays - just turn up.
However, we are keeping many Covid-19 avoidance procedures to keep you safe:
-
We are all premitted to sing again, but please keep your mask on as you sing and throughout worship for the sake of others who may be more vulnerable than you.
-
There will be a minimum of one seat social distance between you, or your bubble. If you wish you can increase the distance by asking one of the welcome team for an extra "do not sit here" card.
-
You will be invited by a welcomer to come forward for Holy Communion, if you are able to.
-
We are not restarting coffee/tea/cake in the lounge after services but all can chat together in the A2 garden after the service.
Live streamed services and previous services are available through our WORSHIP THIS WEEK web site where you can also access lots of activities and resources for families: click here: www.goldsworthpark.org.uk/wtw

Don't lose heart!
"since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart… For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts..." 2 Corinthians 4:1,6
Archdeacon Martin asks us to encourage each other not to lose heart during the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions, but be safe in the knowledge that we have the treasure of the good news.
