St Andrew's Fulham Fields

General Info

page updated 9 Feb 03

St Andrew's is a lively, growing church in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. Our congregation is of all ages and backgrounds, mostly living in the Parish. We have 133 people on our Electoral Roll (up from 101 in April).

Our main service is PARISH EUCHARIST at 10:00am on Sunday - all age worship for the family, singles, young and old, everyone, where people of all ages and backgrounds gather together for worship, fellowship and Eucharist. Children are particularly welcome at St Andrew's - they have their own Children's Group for some of the service but rejoin the whole community before communion. We have an excellent organist and singers are welcome - the adult choir gathers at Communion to sing 4-part anthems. Some of the sermons and talks that have been given at St Andrew's are on the web here. Eucharist is followed by an optional Parish Breakfast (tea/coffee/cakes/sandwiches) which is a great way to get to know people better.

We also have a Thursday Evening Eucharist at 7pm - generally with a talk/discusssion or meditation afterwards.

Morning and Evening Prayer are said every weekday at 8am and 5pm - join to bathe yourself in the scriptures and the psalms and to pray together. The Church is open every day between morning and evening prayer. Many people drop into the Church for quiet meditation.

In his first sermon Fr Gavin expressed the vision of the church which is St Andrew's Fulham Fields. My creed is essentially a catholic creed, a creed which is a song of the heart. And this is my song:

I believe in a church which gives opportunity for all to express their God given gifts and talents.
I believe in a church which encourages people, all of whom are made in the image of God, male and female, poor and rich, white and black, young and old.
I believe in a church which is informed by tradition, but is not ghettoised by traditionalism.
I believe in a church which creates a sense of wonder and awe through its liturgy yet is not dour or regressive.
I believe in a church where Christ is at the centre and not committees or buildings.
I believe in a church which supports each other, prays for each other, lays hands on each other and washes the feet of strangers at the door.
I believe in a church which believes in resurrection, where conflicts are resolved and differences are accepted as a part of life.
I believe in a church which uncovers the untruth from within and exposes it to God's forgiveness.

I pray that through God's grace, that you may share in this vision too, that we may work together with faith, hope and love, and encounter God in all that we do. Amen.

More detailed information about our objectives for 2003 is found here. St Andrew's also has a proud record of founding things! The Church Lads' Brigade was born here in 1891. This Anglican uniformed youth organisation spread all over the world, to Canada, South Africa, Australia, St Helena and the West Indies. Many thousands of members have entered the Church through the Brigade, the seed of which was sown at this church by Walter Gee, now remembered on a wall plaque. Fulham Football Club was also founded here in 1879, and more recently it was the birthplace of The Star Course.

We are also deeply conscious that we are building on the foundations laid under God by past Vicars and in particular by our beloved Fr David

Two Halls are available for Lettings - great for parties and rehersals: you can get the bookings form on the web here.
