St. Ninian's and St. Andrew's considers itself a church that is open to exploration of faith. The members hope to build on the proud history of our non-conformist forebears by being a church where honest questions receive honest answers. We are also proud to be the first Church in the area to perform same sex marriages.

We are 'the church on Chants'. We occupy a prominent position on Chanterlands Avenue - near the bridge, opposite the garage. We aim to be at the heart of the community the Avenues Community Room (ACR), along with Saint Andrew's Hall (SAH), are both well used by local groups.

 St.Ninian’s Needlecrafters

Hopefully, we've seen the last of the horrendous heatwaves and the temperatures will come down a little – it was even too hot to carry on crafting some days!!!

We are all back to working on our own personal projects now butare also thinking about what our next 'fence' item could be and whether or not there could be an extra one before the usual Christmas gift for the Chants community. If you have any ideas for a 'fence' item (any occasion) then please let a member of the group know and we'll see what we can do.

Open every Wednesday – hope to see you soon!

Contemplative Prayer Group

The Contemplative Prayer Group will resume its meetings every Tuesday from 7pm to 8pm. The first session will be on Tuesday 02nd September.

Everyone is welcome to join, whether you want to explore your own prayer life or just make a bit of space in a busy week. We tend to focus on silence, reflection and Bible readings rather than praying 'out loud'. If you are interested please get in touch with Jon Steel, or just turn up anytime.
