What’s on this Week? `What if..? I’m new? It’s great to have you with us! Please stay if you’re able to, have a brew and chat with us. Have a look at the Welcome Desk at the back of the church building before you leave – you’ll find all kinds of info about St Andrew’s. If you can fill in a newcomers card and give it to whoever led the service as you go, we’d love to catch up with you during the week. Thank you! I have disabilities? Please ask the welcomers for large print copies of both the noticesheet and the bible passage. Wheelchairs are welcome! - do ask if you would like assistance, and there is a disabled access toilet at the back of church. Switch your hearing aid to ‘T’ to make use of the loop system. We have a Good News Group that meets during the week for adults with learning difficulties – ask a welcomer for more information. I want to give? If you’re new, please don’t feel that you need to give. We’re just glad you’re here! If you would like to contribute, there is a ‘Gifts’ box at the back of church for donations. If you are a tax payer please use the pink envelopes next to the box, so that the church can claim the tax back.
