World Day of Prayer Service at St James the Great, Salt

for 50 days
St James the Great, Salt, part of the Mid-Trent Churches Team
Salt Road Salt Stafford, ST18 0BW, United Kingdom

The World day of prayer is a worldwide event that is held across the Christian communities. This year the women of Nigeria prepared the service which shared with us the struggles that Christians and particularly women face in Nigeria. Here in the UK we take our faith for granted. Not in Nigeria, where Christians face persecution, yet it is their strong faith that enables women to survive. The mortality rate is far higher there than here. Lone females bringing up children face financial pressures, often
exacerbated by their late husbands family deserting them. Education has to be paid for in Nigeria so when it's a choice between putting food on the table and providing uniform for the children, we know what gets sacrificed.
Around twenty members of the benefice gathered at St James the Great in Salt to learn more about the situation of Nigerian women and to celebrate their achievements.
The service was uplifting and enlightening as we heard what can be achieved with a little faith and support.
God Bless our Nigerian sisters!

Welcome to St. Andrew's Church in Weston.

Our lovely 12th century church has a welcoming congregation, fully committed to sharing and spreading the word of God within our village and the wider community. We are equally committed to maintaining the beautiful building and welcoming visitors whether it be for the first time or a return visit. A Norman church which is built of local sandstone. Subsequent restoration has meant that it is now in a style typical of the early 13th century, and the bell tower dates from that period. The church underwent extensive restoration and enlargement in 1872.

Services at St Andrew's take place either at 9-30am or 11-15am with a breakfast service on the fourth Sunday of the month. This service is open from 9-30am where a full English breakfast is on offer, there are also healthy options available. The Lay Led Service starts at 10-00am and is a shorter, more relaxed occasion (no communion).

An activity table and toys are available for children in Church during all services.
Large print service and Hymn Books are available. Our church is accessible to all, with ramps at the entrance and the Chancel. An audio and loop system is in place. There is a toilet in the church room, however it is not accessible to all. Ample parking to the right of the church is available.
Special services take place at St. Andrew's, including Christmas services, Christingle, Easter, Harvest Festival and Nine Lessons and Carols. An outdoor Remembrance Day service takes place at the War Memorial within Weston Village and is always well attended, with hot drinks served in the local pub afterwards.
