Our church has opened wide the doors and, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, says to you...
THANK YOU
The Kirk Session is very grateful to Armstrong Waste Management Ltd & South West Environmental Action Trust Dumfries (SWEAT) for the grant of £5,000 which has allowed us to insulate the loft area of our church.
Dedicated Redevelopment Project Page
Following the awareness sessions that were held on 24th and 26th May 2022, a dedicated page has been set up on the St Andrews Church website to provide the community with updates relating to the St Andrews Church Redevelopment Project. There you will find information and explanations about the plans, details on how you can help support the project, and updates from the site once the work begins. You can access this special page from the green button at the top of the website homepage or by clicking here. Please keep checking back on the Updates page for all the latest information.

Here are some dates and times that events are on, please feel free to drop off during these times.

Saturday 26th November from 10-4
Sunday 27th November from 1-4

Also, the hall door is open for other classes and activities during the week - see calendar below.
We ask that during those times you drop off quietly, respecting the groups that are meeting in the hall itself.
Many thanks.

WHAT'S ON
A new way to donate
We would like to introduce you to a new method for giving financial donations to St Andrew’s Church. This is not to replace free-will offering envelopes, standing orders or direct debits that are already set up, but is an additional, convenient way for any other donations to reach the church.
To donate, either scan the QR code below using the camera on your smartphone, or click on the poster on the left to go directly to the donation page.
WELCOMING YOU HOME
To all who are weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort;
to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a saviour;
to all who are idle and look for service; to all who are strangers and want fellowship;
to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whomsoever will come;
our church has opened wide the doors and, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, says to you...
