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 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.

First Sunday after Christmas – Sunday 29th December (9.30am)
Songs of Praise for Christmas (ACR):
No doubt we will be singing quite a number of carols prior to Christmas, so on Sunday 29th December we will try to include some of those which we have not already sung.
If you do have a favourite carol which you would like hear, please let me know by Sunday 15th December. This will give me time to put the service together and also let our hard-working screen/hymnal workers have the details well in advance. Many thanks.
St.Ninian’s Needlecrafters
As we’re now into December, I believe it’s okay to mention Christmas officially! The members of Needlecrafters hope you enjoy the season but without too much of the wintry weather.
We will be taking a short break over Christmas, so our last meeting will be the 11th December and we’ll meet up again on the 8th January 2025. Anyone will still be able to drop in on a Wednesday afternoon – the invitation is still there.
We wish you all peace, hope and happiness this Christmas Season.
