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 and our welcomers will help you find a seat and introduce you to others over a cup of coffee after the service.

Children are very welcome too and noise is not a problem! We have a regular Sunday School that runs in the Tower Room at the back of the church where children can be left safely and babies can be attended to.
Come along to our informal Family Service on the 2nd Sunday of each month, where children are encouraged to be central to the worship and anything can happen!

*** Life in the Churchyard ***
Come and join in the work party on Saturday 21 August 10.00 - 1.00pm.

There's a job for eveyone, cutting back overgrowth, strimming or doing something you've noticed needs doing. For those less able to help manually there is always a need for people to make tea, hand round the biscuits or create an information board on what we are doing. Please come along, meet some people and enjoy being out in the open.
Even one hour can make a huge difference.
