WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH

A very warm welcome to St Andrew’s Parish Church.

There has been a place of worship on the site of St Andrew's in Headington for over 900 years. We are an ancient church, but more importantly we are a living
community, here to follow Jesus Christ and serve the needs of our parish and local area now.

We are committed to the care and protection of children and people of all ages: more information about our safeguarding and child protection policy can be found here.

Get to Know Us

Vibrant, inclusive and diverse, we are composed of people from all walks of life who come together to worship Christ in the modern catholic tradition. We are sustained by Scripture, the liturgy, and the sacraments, in which we encounter the reality of God’s love and Christ’s reconciliation in our lives, our community, and our world. Our worship together encourages us to go out into the world to live in the service of others: nurturing the next generation, caring for God’s creation, and reaching out to those in our local community. We seek to be a visible presence of hospitality and welcome, praying that those who enter our space will know more of Christ’s all inclusive grace and love.

Most of our services are the Eucharist in which Christians remember with thanksgiving the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ - and the giving of himself to us today under the forms of bread and wine, which are for us his body and blood.

The Eucharist is celebrated on Sundays at 8am and 10am, on Mondays at 9.30am and Wednesdays at 10am.

All are welcome!

Young Church usually meets for our younger members during the 10am Parish Eucharist.

A Prayer for Peace

God of peace and justice,
we pray for people in the midst of conflict.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.

We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.

We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
