Sunday 3rd February was a very special day for St. Andrew’s church. The Bishop of Warrington, the Rt. Revd. David Jennings came to dedicate and open our new parish centre. Unfortunately the centre isn’t entirely complete but should be within a very few weeks. Everybody was delighted to welcome the bishop and see the new building. We can’t wait now to be able to use it for our activities and to hire it out to community groups and individuals. We’ve been waiting for a very long time for this new building and it will play a major part in building up our congregation and our mission in the future.

On Sunday 3rd February we had a very important visitor from the Bahamas at St. Andrew’s.  The Bishop of Warrington came to dedicate and open our new Parish Centre. He brought with him the Rt. Revd. Laish Boyd, Coadjutor bishop of the Bahamas and the Turks and Cacos Islands. It was a very cold and windy day but it didn’t seem to bother our visitor who enjoyed being with us very much indeed. Bishop Laish was spending 2 weeks in this country and he came to St. Andrew’s at the end of his visit. It was a very great pleasure to have him with us and I am looking forward to being able to maybe link up with a St. Andrew’s parish in the Bahamas. I’m the first in the queue for an exchange visit! Well, I am the vicar!

This is my first post. I hope you will find the comments of interest. I’ll post news of what’s going to happen and reports of what has happened so that you can keep up to date with all that’s going on at St. Andrew’s church and in our links with St. Andrew’s school. We try and work together as much as we possibly can to bring the Christian gospel to both the parish and the world.
