At 11am, we will have a service of Matins (BCP Morning Prayer) at St Andrew’s. This will include Psalm 85, readings from the Song of Solomon and 2 Peter, along with the Venite and the Te Deum, a sermon and a hymn. There is no Eucharist at the 11am service this week, but it will be back next week. You may not be familiar with services in “traditional English”. We hope, however, that you will appreciate the beauty of the language we will use. The forms of words found in the BCP and the King James’ Version of the Bible are from a formational period in the history of church and state, and have sustained the spiritual lives of generations of churchgoers – to this day!Please contact the parish office: sasms@btinternet.com for the online code to join this service via Zoom.
Bring a blanket, your own drinks and children (preferably your own!)Before the summer is gone we thought it would be good to meet outside for physical church rather than online as we have been doing for the last few months.Come and join us at 9:15 am at St Mark's this Sunday 26th July for story telling, an activity and to share some time together.www.surbitonchurch.org.uk
On Sunday 12th July at 11am we are pleased to be welcoming people to a Said Eucharist service at St Andrew's at 11am. This service will also be zoomed to those at home. It will be a combined service bringing together those worshipping physically at St Andrew's with those worshipping at home. We have used government and Church of England guidelines to make precautions in advance and ensure safety on the day.To meet these guidelines we have limited our congregation numbers for our services.
