I hope you are keeping well. Following recent elders’ meetings in both churches, St Andrew’s and Wembley Park are planning to resume worship in church on Easter Sunday, 4th April.

Reflection given 21st Feb by Revd Maggie Hindley When I’m out and about on foot or bicycle, I still sometimes spot the odd kid’s picture of a rainbow, faded and curling, in a suburban window. How long our continuing time of trial by pandemic has been. How long before it’s over? If you think back […]
Isaiah 40:25-31, Mark 1:29-39 Reflection by Revd Sue McCoan, given 7th February 2021 Before we hear our bible reading from Mark’s gospel, I just want to set the context. It’s really early on in the gospel – just a few days after Jesus has called his first 4 disciples, Peter, Andrew, James and John. It’s […]
Dear members and friends I’m pleased to say that we will be having a Lent Discussion group this year – held via Zoom, for obvious reasons. This may make it possible for some people to attend who haven’t been to a discussion group before. We start on Mon 22nd Feb at 1.30pm and continue for the […]

Reflection: ‘Good soil’ by Revd Sue McCoan Our bible reading this morning is a very familiar story. As we often do these days, we will hear it in two parts; and we will hear the first part now, before we start reflecting. Bible reading: Matt 13: 1-9 Jesus told parables, teaching stories, set in everyday […]
