Welcome

A warm welcome to St Andrew’s
 
The protest singer Bob Dylan once sang that all he had was a ‘red guitar, three chords and the truth’. Centuries earlier a Christian Saint made his protest with a letter and three words; words he believed could lead us to the truth if only we could live them: Writing to a damaged and chaotic church, St Paul reduces everything to faith, hope and love.
 
Three small words which can change everything
As a church, these three words lie at the heart of what we preach and what we seek to practice 
  • Faith in the God who is Love; unconditional, indiscriminate, reconciling
  • Hope in the Saviour Christ, who calls us to follow in his steps of sacrificial love into the life and future we were made for.
And the greatest of these…
  • Love through the Spirit of Peace; for God, for neighbour, for enemy; for the healing of self, society and all creation
 
Three small words, one huge commitment
That’s why we believe at St Andrew’s that a church must first be a safe place in which to explore and to fail; where questions are encouraged and everyone is welcome.
That’s our goal at least and our prayer for ourselves is…
‘Grant us clear eyes to see people as you see them,
sensitive feet to stand in their shoes,
 warm smiles to welcome them in your name
and such generous hearts that our church becomes a foretaste of heaven where every soul you send us finds their loving home, in the community of your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ’
