Welcome
Welcome to St Andrew’s….
In the Easter season, a time of mystery and hope, wonder and new life.
Our church strives to be a friendly, inclusive and warm Christian fellowship in Roundhay. We are pleased to see a growth in young families both in our Sunday worship where we have specialised children’s groups and many midweek activities.
You are welcome to try us out and I hope that you may find a warm welcome and a sense of the loving presence of God.
God bless, David

A Prayer
In a season of new life
I pray for tolerance and love
in our community,
our nation,
around the world.
May your presence,
comfort and blessing
be felt by Victoria’s family
and other’s
who’ve lost loved ones
in tragedy.
Through heartache and hurt
may there be healing
and hope. Amen
