St 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.
We usually worship at 9.30 on Sundays, our services are traditional in style and everyone is welcome to join us.

St.Ninian’s Needlecrafters
Welcome to Summer everyone! We hope you're all enjoying this beautiful weather – though we think a few showers overnight would be good for the gardens! We have been asked to do some things for the Hull Pride Event in July, so that is what we are working on at the moment. If you want to know what exactly those things are, then you'll have to come and pay us a visit one Wednesday afternoon. We'll provide you with a drink and biscuits! Can you possibly resist? See you soon! Mary Young

Contemplative Prayer Group
The SNSA contemplative prayer group meets on Tuesdays at 7pm. Everyone is welcome to join us for the hour 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’ as we prepare to celebrate Pentecost and the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church. If you are interested, please get in touch with Jon Steel, or just turn up anytime. jon2000smiles@gmail.com.’
