Bishop Michael’s Jubilee Mass
Seven representatives from St Andrew’s Church attended Bishop Michael’s Jubilee Mass at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Bishop Michael preached with verve, humour and wisdom, including some poignant references to his wife, Julia, who sadly could not be with him on this very special day.
Anne Lloyd becomes a Chelsea Pensioner
Many congratulations and very best wishes to Anne Lloyd, our former Church Secretary, magazine editor and St Andrew’s stalwart over many years.
At the end of November, Anne moved into her new home – in a very special location – and began her exciting new life as a ‘Chelsea Pensioner’ !
Chelsea Pensioners are famous around the world for their iconic, bright-red long coat uniforms. This scarlet army of around 300 extraordinary men and women are all highly respected veterans.
Chelsea Pensioners are residents at the Royal Hospital Chelsea – a retirement and nursing home for former members of the British Army, located in Chelsea, London.
We wish Anne well in her new adventure and look forward to hearing news of her exploits!

Ban a hymn and help a hospital!
We all have our favourite hymns.
And there there are those …. well, not so much!
Now here’s your chance to censor that irritating tune and those dreary words for a whole 12 months in our fun (and fund-raising) AUCTION!
Here’s how it works:
* You can nominate up to 3 items from our current hymn book, but….
* For each one , you must pledge how much you will donate AS A MINIMUM, to have it ‘banned for a year’ from public use
* Write your choice(s) on the form provided, with the pledged sum(s)
There will then be a PUBLIC AUCTION at which
1. You can ‘make your case’ as to why you want this piece banned
2. Other people may then make a case to retain it
3. And then the bidding begins!
(a) You start the bidding (with your agreed amount) for a ban
(b) Anyone can bid ( a higher amount) to overturn to overturn your ban
(c) You can then bid again ( a higher amount still) for the ban you seek
(d) This continues until no higher amount is bid (either or against)
(e) The hymn is either banned or retained, with the highest bid winning
The amount raised will be the final bid (either for or against) – and all proceeds will go to Bishop Sean’s Advent Appeal for Al Ahli Anglican Hospital in Gaza.
The Auction will take place over coffee after church on Sunday 15th December.
Don’t miss the fun!
