St Andrew's Parish Profile PARISH PROFILE Colworth Rd E11 1JD www.standrewsleytonstone.org Since 1887, St. Andrew’s has stood as a beacon of God’s light and love in East London. As a church in the liberal Anglo-Catholic tradition we pride ourselves on being generously orthodox and seek to give all a warm welcome to the Body of Christ, irrespective of race, age, gender, physical ability, way of life or sexual orientation. We rejoice in the great and wonderful diversity of God’s creation and we recognize and celebrate the beauty of his image uniquely revealed in one another. Overview St Andrew's is a small parish with a diverse population in East London. We aim to serve God by serving others through community engagement, beautiful worship and a warm welcome. We seek a priest who values our sacramental tradition and can help us to grow in faith and encourage us in our mission in the local community. We are looking for a priest who • values the Eucharist and other sacraments as part of a catholic-oriented liturgical life • encourages each member of the congregation to develop their gifts, talents and skills in the service of the wider community and the church • reaches out to those in need but especially to the bereaved, sick and elderly to provide pastoral care and support • can guide us toward working more closely with other parishes as part of Bishop Stephen's "Transforming Presence" initiative • relates well to people from diverse backgrounds and circumstances • works with and encourages young families to become and remain part of our worshipping community St Andrew's Leytonstone Parish Pro/le Page 1 About the parish St Andrew's is the smallest parish in the deanery of Waltham Forest, with a population of 3,400. The parish is on the edges of Epping Forest and the East End of London. Half the parish is Epping Forest land and the rest consists of mainly terraced housing, some small and some large, the latter often divided into 5ats. The church, which was built between 1887 and 1893 in order to meet growing demand for a large church in the area, lies within the Forest Glade Conservation Area. St Andrew's is a 15 minute walk from Leytonstone tube Station, which is 25 minutes from Central London, or 5 minutes from the 257 bus stop and within easy access of the A406 North Circular Road and the M11 Motorway. It is also well placed for trains from Stratford or Stratford International. Whipps Cross University Hospital, a major district general hospital, is located just outside the parish. Many of the local population commute to central London for work, and the area is a popular residential location for hospital staff. St Andrew's is adjacent to Leytonstone School, a mixed 11-16 comprehensive. Within the parish there is also a pub, a Hindu temple, and some small shops. The local primary school, Gwyn Jones Primary School, while only a couple of hundred metres from the church, is situated outside of the parish. There is no church school in the parish. St Andrew's Leytonstone Parish Pro/le Page 2 About the church People The ethnic and socio-economic mixture of the congregation is very diverse, with a high proportion in the 50+ age group. We aim to welcome people with a broad range of backgrounds, beliefs and views. This 'unity in diversity' is evident at PCC meetings where the ability to present different ideas and debate them properly and in a spirit of good humour has been demonstrated. In general the community is open to growth and change. The number of children and young people who attend church services is growing and the church offers Sunday School most Sundays as well as a regular pattern of All Age worship. Lent groups, Advent groups, and occasional study groups are usually led by members of the congregation, while con/rmations groups are led by the incumbent. There are around 85 people on the electoral roll, with attendance of 50-55 on an average Sunday morning. Churchwardens: Ian Burns – Ian, a retired solicitor born and brought up in Leytonstone, has been worshipping at St Andrew's for 45 years. He has been on the PCC for many years, served on the Deanery Synod and is now on his 3rd stint of being Treasurer and 3rd year as a church warden. Rosemarie Bettout – Rosemarie grew up in Leytonstone and still lives in the area. She has served on the PCC for many years and takes an active volunteer role in addition to her duties as church warden. Organist: Kathryn Rose – Kathryn studied at Trinity College of Music before coming to St Andrew's and learning the organ. In addition to her musical duties (including choosing hymns and helping plan liturgy) she directs fundraising efforts for the organ repairs (which are due to be completed later this year). Kathryn also serves on the PCC, helps with the @StAndrewsE11 Twitter account and is the parish administrator. St Andrew's Leytonstone Parish Pro/le Page 3 Regular Services The main service is the 10am Sunday sung Eucharist and sung Compline on the /rst and third Mondays of each month. Our churchmanship is 'modern' Anglo- Catholic, ie with incense, bells, robed servers and robed choir, but we have a willingness to change, develop and adapt within that tradition. Four members of the congregation are licensed to assist with the administration of communion, while a number assist with reading lessons and leading intercessions. Members of the congregation are also actively involved with All-Age services for occasions such as Harvest and Christingle. Side chapel ready for Compline Community Our aspiration is to be a church that is there for the community. The church community seeks to be a beacon of God's love, by actions as much as by words, to all people irrespective of their faith or belief. The church hall is the only large community building in the parish and as such is valuable community resource. Since 2009 the church has run a community cafe, Café Refresh, which has been very popular with local residents and teachers at the local schools. Unfortunately it is currently in abeyance due to the last manager moving away from the area, but the church would like to re-open it as soon as practicable, perhaps as a weekly luncheon club for the elderly later this year. As an offshoot of the Café, on the last Friday of each month (except August and December) an evening bistro has been held at which more substantial fare has been provided. While the Café has been primarily a social provision for the community, breaking even or making a small surplus, the bistro has been a successful fundraiser. We have a growing good relationship with Leytonstone School next door to the church. In recent months we have started to give assemblies and attend workshops in the school, and St Andrew's Leytonstone Parish Pro/le Page 4 we have been asked to run a prayer group there. They exhibit some of their art work in the church and we aim to run a weekly homework club in the church for students who don't have access to suitable study space at home. There is a Hindu Temple in the parish which draws its worshippers from a wide area, and we are successfully working to build personal links with members of that congregation. The Near Neighbours programme has provided funding for a 'Faith Friendship Club'. The hall is used by a number of external organisations during the week as well as organisations linked to the church. A pre-school nursery (run by a member of the congregation and recently rated as 'Good' by Ofsted) opens /ve mornings and two afternoons per week and is steadily increasing the number of children attending. There is regular evening use by karate classes and art classes, as well as the local Scout group. The hall has also been used for several years by two of the local councillors as the location for their surgery, now happening twice a month. It is also occasionally used by the local residents group for meetings. The parish has recently commissioned an architect to draw up plans for the development of the hall and is hoping to submit a bid for funding in 2017. The parish is generally involved with the local community, especially over planning considerations for building on land behind the church. St Andrew's is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. The local Churches Together group meets regularly and organises a number of joint services during the year. The church is also used for exhibitions or concerts as part of the E11 Arts Trail or Leytonstone Festival every summer and has in the past taken part in the London wide 'Open House' weekend when historic and architecturally important buildings are open to the public. St Andrew's members would like to continue to develop in their service to others, not just to the elderly and youth but also the community as a whole. WW1 Afternoon Tea, August 2014 St Andrew's Leytonstone Parish Pro/le Page 5 Building The church is a Grade II listed building built between 1887 and 1893 as a memorial church to William Cotton, a local resident, by his son Henry, a distinguished Lord Justice of Appeal. It was designed by Sir Arthur Blom/eld and originally seated over a thousand people. In the 1910s vestries were added as an extension. In the 1970s it was re- ordered with a full height partition, the lower part of which has large multiple folding doors.
