St Ninian's and St Andrew's URC

We are located at Chanterlands Avenue, Hull HU5 4DJ

St Ninians and Andrews URC

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

We are the only church on Chanterlands Avenue - near the bridge, opposite the garage - and strive to be at the heart of the community.

We usually worship at 9.30 on Sundays and our service is traditional. 

All welcome at any or all of our services

Harvest – Sunday 13th October 

At our Youth and Family Service on Sunday 13th October, we will also be celebrating our annual harvest thanksgiving. Once again we will be collecting items which can be donated to the FoodBank. I know you are all exceedingly generous with your regular donations to this organisation, but donations on this Sunday will be especially welcome. Thank you


 St.Ninian’s Needlecrafters

It may not be November yet, but planning on where to put the numerous Remembrance Day poppies which have been knitted is top of our agenda at the moment – they were to have been draped from the tree, but as that no longer exists we're having to do a re-think! It's sure to look good wherever we decide to put them. No news yet on the Christmas project but watch this space! In between times the usual personal stitching, knitting and crochet items are being produced amidst much chatter, tea drinking and friendship. Come for a cuppa one Wednesday and see what we're up to – you'll be most welcome!

Ladies Circle

Ladies, you will notice there has been a change in the speaker for the first date in October. I had to change it around because one of the speakers couldn’t make her date after all. (Perhaps it was because I book up so early, but if you want good speakers you have to get in early!) 

Monday 14th October at 7.30pm. “Her Publishing Journey.” Jeevani Charka (Authoress) (Jeevani will have her books for sale if anyone is interested) 

Monday 28th October at 7.30pm. “Sustainable Fashions” Charlotte Garbutt 

Christmas meal: By the time you read this, most of you will have hopefully completed the signup sheet for our Christmas meal and added your required choice of food. Also there is a section to put the amount you wish to pay (as soon as you can) £5 deposit, or the full amount of £18 which includes a tip. This is for a 3- course meal. For a change, this year we are going to the Hop Pole and I have booked the private function room. Thank you all for your support. We look forward to seeing you on Monday evenings.

Meditation and Prayer

Meets  Tuesdays, 7pm-8pm, here at St.Ninian's and St.Andrew's. Are you looking for some space to reflect? Some time to spend with God? An opportunity to explore your prayer life with others? Image courtesy of anylength.net We have been meeting at different times in the year but this autumn we will be meeting every week until Christmas. Everyone is welcome, with lots or no experience of praying or meditation. You don't have to come every week, just come when you can make it. We look forward to seeing you.
