Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

Her Majesty, The Queen, said in her Jubilee Speech in March, 

“It is my sincere hope that the Diamond Jubilee will be an opportunity for people to come together in a spirit of neighbourliness and celebration of their own communities.”

We at St Andrews are eager to be a part of the celebrations as it will give us an opportunity as a church to be at the heart of our community and to join with our neighbours and friends, enabling us to boost the community spirit.

We are inviting anyone who would like to join us for a ‘Special Jubilee Service’ at 10.30am on Sunday 3rd June; this will be followed by lunch and an opportunity to share in fellowship together.  Please ring 01380 724264 for a free ticket if you would like to join us. (For catering purposes only)

St Andrews Church, Devizes is a growing church within the Wiltshire United Area (Methodist & United Reformed Church). This major refurbishment of a church built in 1899 has included the restoration of the original church ceiling, gallery and a magnificent stained glass window all of which have been hidden behind a false ceiling for more than 40 years. Chairs have replaced pews giving a flexible light filled space for both worship and community use. The theme for the weekend was ‘To God be the Glory great things he has done, and now he shall do even greater things!’
