We would love to welcome some more families and children to our Sunday morning services. Bringing children up to know the love of God and being surrounded by an extended family of people is a wonderful help when you are raising a young family. Why not come along this Sunday and see what it’s all about. We think you might be surprised! 💖

Bring your little one to church…

Not because they’ll understand everything.
Not because they’ll sit still the whole time.
Not because it will always be convenient or peaceful.

But because there is something beautiful about raising a child in the presence of God… even before they can speak His name.

Bring them even when they’re wiggly.
Even when you’re tired.
Even when you feel people might stare.
Because the truth? Most people aren’t judging you. Many of them are smiling, remembering the days they brought their own babies to church.

Bring your little one to church because these tiny, ordinary Sundays add up.
One day, they’ll recognize the songs.
They’ll mimic the prayers.
They’ll fold their hands the way you do.
And long before they understand theology,
they’ll understand the atmosphere of worship.

They’ll grow up knowing:
“This place is safe.”
“This place is home.”
“This place is where we talk to Jesus.”

Even if you spend more time rocking them than listening…
Even if you step out more times than you planned…
Even if your worship looks like calming a baby instead of lifting your hands.

It still counts.
God sees your effort.
He sees your heart.
He sees the way you’re choosing to plant seeds in your child’s spirit long before they bloom.

So keep going, momma.
Keep showing up, dad.
Keep bringing them because you’re building a foundation they will stand on for the rest of their life.

Tiny feet in God’s house today…
steady footsteps of faith tomorrow. 🤍

Our beautiful poppy display in the church gardens is looking absolutely wonderful. Very many thanks to all of our church friends and family who have lovingly knitted over 400 poppies to adorn the garden. We hope they will be enjoyed by all of the community as they pass by.

In memory of Patricia McNaughton (1943-2025)

This week’s BBC Songs of Praise features St Mary’s Church in Scarborough, and what a beautiful hymn to be coming from the congregation there - “I, the Lord of sea and sky”.

Here’s what we’re singing this week on Songs of Praise!

Later this week we will be installing our unique poppy display in the Church gardens. Members and friends of St Andrew’s have been knitting poppies over the last few months in memory of our dear friend and long-standing church members Patricia McNaughton who passed away earlier this year.

We hope that the community will enjoy seeing our display of poppies and take a moment as you pass by to remember those who are no longer with us.
