The St Andrew’s church and church hall diary is filling up pretty fast. All of the regular group and social activities are fully up and running with one or two new groups on the horizon.
The Tots n Dots toddler group continue to meet on Tuesday afternoons during term time from 1:15pm to 3pm. There is no need to book, just come along when you can.
The St Andrew’s Coffee Shop is open on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 10am to midday serving refreshments and homemade cakes. Gluten and lactose free options often available.
The 1st LFE Rainbows and Brownies meet in the church hall on Thursday late afternoon /evening during term time. Unfortunately, the Guide group closed earlier in the year, but if this is something that you would like to be involved with then please do get in touch. The 92nd LFE Beavers, Cubs and Scouts meet in their headquarters behind the church.
Messy Church for families meets on the 1st Sunday afternoon of each month starting at 3pm. The first hour is spent doing various craft activities, then a story and worship time followed by social and refreshment time, everyone is welcome.
Many of the local primary school children will have met the ‘Open the Book team’ who have been acting out Bible stories at Stafford Leys and Fossebrook schools once a month for many years. This team is made up of volunteers from St Bartholomew’s KM, St Andrew’s LFE and St Crispin’s Braunstone Town. From September onwards the team are delighted to announce that Kingsway Primary school will be included in their monthly visits.
Our local care homes in LFE and KM receive a monthly Hymn Service visit led by volunteers from St Andrew’s, St Bartholomew’s and Kirby Free Church. These services are very much enjoyed and appreciated by the residents and staff alike.
The church and church hall are hired out on a regular basis to the following groups. Messy Movers,
Yoga Class, Matrix Martial Arts, Karen Loomes Dance Academy, Silverliners Line Dancers and Musical Village Choir. There are still a few regular hire sessions available and of course the hall can be booked for one-off events subject to the hall conditions of use.
