Join us in a Service of Morning Prayer. See https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/join-us-service-daily-prayer for the Order of Service.
A chance to meet at St Andrew’s weekly – bring along knitting, sewing, crafts of any kind and spend a couple of hours in good company. No particular skills required, you are welcome whether you have nimble fingers or butterfingers. And if you don’t have a project of your own to bring, there are always blanket squares to be sewn up, or the chance just to sit and chat. Meetings, open to anyone from our three churches and our local community, are held Tuesdays in St Andrew’s Centre, 2 – 4 pm: no charge, and refreshments provided.
Community Pastors information evening
Tuesday 14 October, 7.00 pm
St Andrew’s Church, London Road, Wickford SS12 0AN
A meeting to hear about the work of Community Pastors and explore ways in which the churches might contribute to initiatives to engage with young people in Wickford Town Centre alongside initiatives such as Safer Streets, Street Wardens and Bar ’n’ Bus.
Please come if you would like to share views and ideas, get information, or volunteer.
The Church gathers primarily for worship, to celebrate all that God is and all that God has done, to be drawn into the life of the Trinity: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We offer God songs and words of praise in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. We attend to God’s words in Scripture. We gather around the table of the Lord in the Holy Communion. We offer prayers for our own needs and the needs of the world. When we do this we join our prayers – thin and weak as they often are – with the great hymn of praise of the Church in both earth and heaven, in time and in eternity.
The Eucharist or Holy Communion is celebrated by the whole people of God gathered for worship. The ministry of the members of the congregation is expressed through their active participation together in the words and actions of the service, but also by some of them reading the Scripture passages, leading the prayers of intercession, and, if authorized, assisting with the distribution of communion.
