Kirkandrews on Esk

Kirkandrews is a gem of a church sat within a bucolic idyll on the banks of the Esk. Come inside to marvel at the Italinate interior which is eclipsed only by the warmth of the welcome to all.

We have a varied pattern of worship using the Book of Common Prayer and we are blessed to have the Kirkandrews Church Mice Choir, directed by Richard Solyom, who lead us in Choral Evensong on the third Sunday each month.

Each year, during Lent, the Esk Parishes put on a series of talks. These talks are free and open to everyone. The Lent Talks will this year be given by Rt Rev Peter Ramsden. They will be held in the Esk Lounge, Longtown Memorial Community Centre from 2 pm to 3.30 pm.

Theme: 'This is the Word of the Lord.'

Wednesday March 12th : What is the Bible?
Wednesday March 19th . The Making of the Bible
Wednesday March 26th : Use and abuse of the Bible: the beginning and end
Wednesday April 2nd : Use and abuse of the Bible: power and politics
Wednesday April 9th: A Lantern to my feet and a Light upon my path'

Bishop Peter writes: 'The Bible is not only one of the most familiar of books but also one of the most enigmatic. It is the world's best seller and has shaped history. It was written over thousands of years by many different authors, and yet speaks to us personally today. All we know of Jesus comes from the Bible.
Come and explore the world of the Bible this Lent!'

Peter Ramsden (BSc., MA) has been a priest in Newcastle Diocese and subsequently, for ten years, priest in Aipo Diocese in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea. From 2007 until 2014 he was Bishop of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
