It has been the strangest of Easters, especially with us all not being able to come together in the church for Mass and liturgies. We may not be coming together in one another's presence to pray and worship and celebrate the sacraments, but nevertheless, what can be very much felt are the ways in which every effort is being made by many to keep alive the good sense of community which St Andrew's Parish has.
A Big Easter Thanks - I just want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and say a big thank you to all those who have been working so hard in so many ways in these limiting circumstances ~ preparing the sanctuary for Holy Week and Easter ~ taking photographs ~ keeping our website, Facebook, Twitter and M&B Herald column up to date ~ attending to the Easter floral arrangements ~ attending to maintenance issues ~ looking after finance & admin ~ keeping the grounds and gardens looking good.
Parishioners have been sharing some lovely prayers, hymns and video clips - please, keep them coming. Always happy to share them with others through our parish's social media. The beautifully decorated cross for Easter will remain on the sanctuary up until Pentecost Sunday.
The foodbank and soup run / GWR volunteers continue to do great work, especially during these times, delivering to those in need. The parish is grateful to them for being so generous with their time, and a big thanks for all the foodbank donations that many of you hand in.
