Bells at St Andrew's
After a number of years of prayer, planning and fundraising, the first phase of the project to restore the bells at St Andrew's is now underway. This is an exciting time but it does mean that access to the church will need to be restricted on occasions for safety reasons. Thank you for your understanding.
