New Altar Frontal

 Some of the treasures of our church are the beautiful Altar Frontals which have been generously gifted to St Andrew’s over the years. There are different colours for the church seasons.  The purple one we have for Lent (coming up to Easter), and Advent (coming up to Christmas) was in poor condition.  Members of the congregation decided to give a new one which was used for the first time and blessed on the nearest Sunday to St Andrew’s Day, 30th November.

  It was given in particular recognition of the long reign and service of Queen Elizabeth II and her example in upholding the Christian faith.  Members of the whole community were invited to come along to see the new frontal on Sunday 27th November and enjoy tea, coffee and cake after the 9.30am service.  The photo shows the new cloth in situ.
