Sunday 31st October - Special Services

St Andrew's - 10.00am
United Parish Service celebrating All Saints. We will also be welcoming some new lay eucharistic ministers. There will be a children's church provided as part of this service.

St Nicholas' - 4.00pm
We celebrate All Souls with a service in commemoration of loved ones who have died. We encourage you to help us make this known. Perhaps you know someone who would appreciate this opportunity to remember someone in prayer and thanksgiving.

These two services are the only ones in the parish on this Sunday.
