All services are now in St Thomas.
When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realised that this work had been done with the help of our God. (Nehemiah 6:16, NIV)
There have been hints from the beginning that there will be opposition to building the walls. In chapter 4, the workers face physical attack. This Sunday, we'll see the opposition intensify and take on personal, political and pseudo-religious angles. How do we see the opposition play out? How does seeing it help us? More importantly, how do we see God's grace in action?
You would be very welcome at our 10:30am service in St Thomas, Northaw or at 9am for a service of Holy Communion in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday.
With our move to St Thomas, we haven't been able to get our streaming set up working. The internet available to use isn't good enough to stream from the church. We are still looking at solutions and, if we are able to put it in place, we will do so.
Children’s Church
Our children’s church meets this Sunday morning in Northaw School. Children are welcome from 10:20, and will join us in St Thomas towards the end of the service.
Hymns and Pimms
An evening of singing some of our congregation's favourite hymns, accompanied by a glass of Pimms, on Sunday 6 July at 5.00 pm at St Thomas' Church. Free admission but donations are welcome to go towards the cost of the new heating system in St Andrew's Church.
Vacancies
We have a vacancy for two churchwardens and one representatives on the Deanery Synod. If you’d like to know more about them (without any commitment), please talk to Chris.
Rotas
We very much value and appreciate all the different people that welcome and help with refreshments, and the different voices that we hear from the front. We always welcome new people to these roles, even if infrequently, and we have some spaces at the moment. If you don’t already help, and this would be something you would like to do, please talk to Chris.
We’re currently using self-signup for the various rotas: blank rotas will be pinned up at the back of St Thomas. If you are one of our regular welcomers, readers, pray-ers, communion assistants, or refreshment helpers, please do sign up where you are able to.
Rotas for services in June and July are now available.
Gala Day
The timing of the works in St Andrew’s has meant that we have decided to postpone the planned Gala Day from 21 June to 20 September. We will be combining it with the planned Flower Festival.
Heating work at St Andrew’s
The work at St Andrew’s has begun. The first stage has been to clear the area and start to lay the new floor. You can follow the progress of the work online.
60 Years of St Andrew’s
The current St Andrew’s building was consecrated on 30th November, 1965. To mark and celebrate 60 years of the building, we are planning a range of events during the year, culminating in a service on 30th November 2025.
Bible Reading Resources
There are a lot of resources available online to help with Bible reading. A few of them are here, in case they are helpful for you.
Home Communion
If you’re not able to join us on Sundays, and would appreciate a visit with Holy Communion, please be in touch with Chris.
