St Andrew's Earls Colne
You are warmly welcome to come to St Andrew's, the Parish church of Earls Colne. Step inside the church doors for one of our services and our welcomers will be pleased to help you find a seat and introduce you to others.
Children are very welcome too and noise is not a problem! We have a regular Sunday School 'Little Doves' that runs in the Tower Room at the back of the church where children can be left safely and where parents can escape to with babies that are in need of attention. |
|
|
Services are held every Sunday at St Andrew's Earls Colne. Parish Communion services are usually held by Revd. Vivien Brooks but as we share her with the parishes of Colne Engaine and White Colne, other Sunday services are taken by Revd Clifford Norris and Christians in the Parish.
Every month we have a Team Swap Sunday when either Revd. Geoff Bayliss or Revd. John Blore will officiate.
After church we invite all to stay and have a coffee or tea and chat!
