WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH

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

There has been a place of worship on this site for over a thousand years,
so we are a very ancient church. But more importantly we are a living
community here to 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.

News and Greetings

Welcome to the Saint Andrew’s website.

Worship has been offered on our site in Old Headington since at least the twelfth century.

2022 was our 900th birthday!

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. As the bread and wine are brought before God, so we offer ourselves to him, bringing to him our joys and sorrows, our thanksgivings and concerns. When we receive Holy Communion, we receive Christ himself, and, thus nourished, go out into the world to live our Christian lives in the service of others.

The Eucharist is celebrated on Sundays at 8am and 10am, on Mondays at 9.30am, Wednesdays at 10am and Thursdays at 7pm. All are welcome!

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

Tea On Monday and Knit & Natter are meeting again (details below).

Little Fishes meets on Thursdays in school term (details below).

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine .
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.
