Welcome to St Andrew's Church

We are indeed very fortunate to live in such lovely villages as Aldringham and Thorpeness? Not just mean just in geographical terms; but with the people we live near and next to. With schemes like Good Neighbours and interest groups like the Thorpeness and Aldringham Heritage Group and much more we seem to be able to provide a rich abundance of social activities which many villages must envy.

At St. Andrews Church, we hope you count us in as a group of people who like to join in with village activities and also provide some activities for you to come and join in with. We are very grateful to people like David at The Dolphin Inn and Chris at he Parrot, Aldringham who on so many occasions have raised funds for us, for Trudie Willis of Priors Oak who opens her amazing garden for us to name but three.

But what can we at St. Andrews offer you? Our church doors are always open to you, whether you choose to come in and just sit in a little bit of cool quiet calm, or walk in our peaceful churchyard, or even come searching out flora and fauna, and as many people do, paying respects to loved ones buried there. We love being a part of your lives; weddings, baptisms and of course funerals, but hopefully we are there for more than that. We have a mixture of traditional and more modern services at our main 11.00am worship on Sundays, as well as a short Morning Prayer service every Thursday at 9.30am in the vestry if you like to worship in a more intimate environment. For those people who are not able to come to church through illness or infirmity we can offer a home visit.

Working in conjunction with the Pro Corda music school at Leiston Abbey we  stage musical events each year..

Do feel free to come and see us at St. Andrew's, anytime

YOU WILL BE MADE MOST WELCOME.
