St Andrew's and St Anne's celebrating together

On Sunday 21st July, adults, young people and children from the congregations of St Anne's and St Andrew's came together to celebrate St Anne's Day.   

Vicar Mother Christine and Curate Felicity Scroggie lead the service with Reverend Maggie Hindley.   It was a happy occasion with praises for kids' attendance, appreciation for adults contributing to the life of the church, joyous youth band and then..... to their great surprise, Viola and Trish were awarded the Order of St Mellitus by the Bishop of London in recognition of their outstanding contribution to St Anne's as Churchwardens.

Afterwards, in Mother Christine's back garden young people and adults came and shared their memories and stories.
