Our Nordic friends have organised a fabulous programme of Nordic Days events – from 10th to 20th October – to which they are kindly welcoming everyone from St Andrew’s, regardless of nationality.
A great turnout for Sunday’s Harvest Festival. Thank you to everyone who donated items. These are on their way to Tulips and families who will benefit.
Well known teacher Elizabeth Sharp Notley has passed away.
A Memorial Service for her will be held at St Andrew’s Church on Saturday 12th October at 11am.
May she rest in peace.
This week we have been in touch with some of the clergy and young leaders from Jerusalem Diocese, who were on the summer school in Famagusta and here with us at St Andrew’s just a few weeks ago.
Since they returned home, life has been very difficult for them and their churches and communities in Nazareth, Jerusalem and Nablus, in the West Bank.
Conflict is all around them and Tuesday night was particularly hard.
Despite everything, they are working hard to keep the churches open and run regular activities.
On Sunday 6th, when we celebrate Harvest Festival, they will be holding their ‘Thanksgiving’ Services – even if people cannot get to them.
Our friends in Jerusalem Diocese need, and very much appreciate, our support and prayers as they go through these terrifying and uncertain times.
On Tuesday night, Bishop Sean shared this:
Please pray with us tonight for our brothers and sisters in the Diocese of Jerusalem and for all the people of this region: for protection and peace; for de-escalation and ceasefire; for humanitarian and medical teams; for generosity and compassion.
Keep watch, dear Lord,
with those who wake, or watch, or weep this night,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend the sick,
give rest to the weary,
sustain the dying,
calm the suffering,
and pity the distressed;
all for your love’s sake, O Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
Please bring donations of non-perishable goods. These will be donated to Tulips/Help Those With Cancer Association.
If you are able to drop donations in at the church on Saturday morning (10-12) that would be very helpful.
Many thanks, in advance, for your generosity.

It was wonderful to welcome Bishop Michael Lewis back to St. Andrew’s yesterday – and to hear another of his very thought-provoking sermons.
Bishop Michael preached to a full house, including visitors from many parts of the world. It was a privilege to worship and share fellowship with such a warm and diverse group of people.
