Hull Team ChurchesSt Ninian's and St Andrew's URC
We are located at Chanterlands Avenue, Hull HU5 4DJ
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
Time goes so quickly – and here we are almost copying the supermarkets and getting ready for Easter. Maybe by next month's newsletter we'll be able to give you a clue as to what we will be putting on the fence.
Do call in sometime for a chat and a cuppa (biccy included!) - needlework is not compulsory! Wednesdays 2.00pm – 4.00pm.

Last month's Puzzler
Last year we introduced a new feature to ponder over. Each month we offer an easy little puzzle with no prizes. In January the puzzle asked:
1, 8, 11, 69, 88, 96, 101 . . . . . . .
What is the next three digit number in this sequence ? And the answer: 111 It's the next number that will read the same when rotated through 180 degrees (ie. turned upside-down).
February Puzzler
This month's puzzle simply asks:
“If you turn me on my side, I’m everything, but if you cut me in half I’m nothing.” What am I?
No prizes and the answer next month.
