Over the last few weeks our intrepid Reader John Pattinson has been busy photographing some of the events that have taken place. Here's a few highlights!
On September 26th a merry band of congregation members took a prayer walk around the boundary of the parish.

The 10th October brought esteemed company to St. Andrew's Priestman Hall as the Mayor & Mayoress of Sunderland, Barry & Carol Curran, attended our Coffee Morning held in aid of our "Turn Up The Heat!" boiler appeal. The event raised over £300, and giving forms are available from the back of St. Andrew's Church or from the Parish Office on request.

Last but not least, on 11th October St. Andrew's held it's Community Harvest Celebration. Many of our uniformed organisations were present, and everyone had a great time learning of God's love for His creation. Check out the amazing potato people - every one a winner!
