A very happy Christmas to all who have been celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ today. Whether we celebrate on the 25th December or 7th January, we thank God for the indescribable gift that He has given us: that the Son of God was born as a human being, of the Virgin Mary, so that all who receive Him might have the right to become sons and daughters of God.

Tomorrow at St Andrews we celebrate Epiphany and the appearing of the star to the wise men. We invite you to join us at one of our services tomorrow - at 9am or 11am.

This Wednesday, 11 January, at 7.30pm we have a service of Holy Communion, when we will remember the consecration of St Andrew's on the 13 January 1885, and rededicate ourselves in God's service.

The service will be followed by a Crescendo concert
