Great to induct and install Beth Joss-Pothen once she had been instituted by @LynneCullens as Rector of St Andrew, Romford. A wonderful and hopeful celebration with a fabulous brass ensemble and generous hospitality.
On Saturday morning between 9am-1pm we are having a spring clean in the church and the churchyard. If you fancy lending a hand for an hour or several hours, you are most welcome to join us! Refreshments provided!
Coffee morning this Saturday 5th February 10am-midday in St Andrews.
We're be holding a coffee morning on the first Saturday of the month following this. Drop in for coffee, cake and a chat!
Today we said farewell to Jean Holmyard, a former member of our congregation who was married here in 2004. Eternal rest grant unto Jean, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
Mourning the loss of the late great Archbishop Desmond Tutu who lived equally the Christian call to forgiveness as well as to justice. He understood well the power of both. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
Today at 4PM, all are welcome to join us for a Christmas story, carol singing, and a hunt round the church! Age is unimportant. St Andrews, St Andrews Road, Romford - near where the flats have been demolished.
Thank you to everyone who came to our 9 lessons and carols service last night. The church was beautifully bathed in warm candle light adding to the atmosphere. A nice reminder that Christmas is almost here!

Great to admit churchwardens and celebrate their contribution to the mission and ministry of the Church during the Visitation service at @stedsromford
Thanks for such a great welcome, such warm hospitality and such great music.
On behalf of the whole UK, I apologise to #Eurovision for the embarrassment that is Amanda Holden making it all about her plus her stereotypical ‘I don’t speak foreign’
