​"All who are on the side of truth listen to my voice."

Next Sunday is Sign Up Sunday. St Andrew’s parish needs you. What you have asked for in the recent consultation, help us put in place. We need volunteers for existing and new ventures, especially  New;  Youth Ministry (if you would like to be part of a Youth Ministry team, please sign up – we’re looking for parents and grandparents to help); Transport to Mass, (would be good to start this up again to help parishioners who have absolutely no-one at all to take them to Mass); Bereavement support (we envisage that this would be done in pairs visiting the bereaved in their own homes);   Social activities group ( we’re looking to form a team whose responsibility would be to organise social events and activities). Existing; St Vincent de Paul, Piety stall, Legion of Mary, Children’s Choir, Musicians & Cantors, Folk Group, Justice and Peace to name just some. All existing groups are always looking for new people to join. Also, we desperately require the skills of a volunteer bookkeeper. Please consider, and if you can help, sign up. Without your help we cannot take everything forward. Come to Sign-up Sunday, upper hall, next weekend - 28/29 November.

Thank you - We received a lovely letter from Mary’s meals thanking us for the fabulous sum of £2,261 donated to their Feed Our Future appeal. As the sum raised is eligible for the UK Aid Match scheme, Mary’s meals will benefit to a total value of a £4,522 which will make a huge difference. The letter is displayed on the notice board in the porch. Many thanks for your generosity.
