It only seems like yesterday we were preparing for the very first St Andrew’s May Festival 2024. We were thrilled as a packed church was dazzled by the London Community Gospel Choir, and every event seemed to lift all who came. How could we not do it all again!

Our theme this year is ‘Shining the Light of Jesus’, with a focus on telling the stories of Jesus, and hearing the stories of ordinary people when Jesus is part of our lives.

We hope you will come and join us in as many ways as you can, and notice the light of Jesus shining brightly in our community. There's something for everyone, and we'd love to see you at St Andrew's or Dumbarton Hall.
