We are delighted to be partnering with Hopetown in this special anniversary year as we together celebrate 200 years of the Stockton Darlington Railway and 900 years of St Andrew's. The celebration of our 900 years will form an exhibition in the Carriageworks at Hopetown through November and December. Please come along and bring friends to enjoy both the museum and our exhibition!

St. Andrew's Annual Christmas Fayre
takes place on
Saturday 22nd November
11:00am to 2:00pm in the Church Hall.
The Fayre is a major fund raising event for St. Andrew's, so do come along to enjoy yourself for an hour or two while supporting a worthwhile cause.
If you've been on previous years you'll know that it's a great event with lots going on.
There'll be stalls selling a wide range of goods giving you some great Christmas present ideas. It's the right place to begin your search for those elusive Christmas presents.
Santa is there for the younger ones and light refreshments are available; sandwiches, cakes, burgers, hot dogs, hot drinks - a lot of the stuff will be home made.
You'll enjoy the happy atmosphere, so put the date in your diary now, and bring your family and friends with you.
Once again the Salvation Army are holding their annual Christmas Toy Appeal.
As a church we continue to support this and on their behalf ask for donations of toys which will be given to needy families in time for Christmas.
The collection box for new toys will be in church from 2nd to 30th November.
Gifts can also be taken to Asda, Morrison's North Road, Sainsbury's Victoria Road as well as to the Salvation Army.
Our church office can accept them between 9.30 and noon, Monday to Friday until Monday 1st December if this helps.
Have you been bereaved recently? if so the Bereavement Journey could be for you.
The Bereavement Journey is a registered seven week course, using a series of films and discussion groups that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement. In the midst of your grief you may find it helpful to think about and chat over what's happened with others.
A new Bereavement Journey Course runs on Monday afternoons, 2-4pm in the Gouldsmith Room, beginning on Monday 29 September. For more information and to register, please speak with Revd Amy Gooding or Cath Williams on 07941 334399. Registration forms are also available in the office or near the font in church.
