So sang the Revd Gary Davis, king of the ‘holy blues’ singers, back in the 1950s and ‘60s, and so sing I (at least in the shower). One of my great delights as a member of St Andrew’s URC is playing in the (variously named) ‘music group’, or ‘church band’. Maybe we need a competition […]
St. Andrew’s is pleased to be taking part in a Thames North Synod project to display Christian art in ‘plain sight’ – in well visited areas. In our case, the wall next to the kitchen in the main reception. The print on display will change every month, over a two year cycle.

We’re going to use them to reflect on the Easter story. We’re starting earlier in holy week, because Easter only really makes sense when you look […]

My father, Clifford Welch, was a London Missionary Society missionary in Nauru, from 1936 to 1941. When the Japanese invaded Nauru, he was evacuated to Auckland, where he worked as a Congregational minister until around 1947 when he returned to the UK, and met my mother. They married and my brother, Lawrence and I were […]
We were pleased to welcome back the Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter for 3 Saturdays in December, after a long gap in this area of our service.
