WELCOME to

St Andrew's United Reformed Church
(By the Royal Berkshire Hospital)
The church has now re-opened for Sunday Worship. Our Worship Room has been re-arranged to accommodate up to 35 persons in a low-risk environment. You can also join us online via Zoom for Sunday Worship - see below for details.
Welcome to St Andrew's URC, Reading, we invite you to join us any Sunday morning or at one of our regular activities.
We are part of a joint pastorate of United Reformed Churches in Reading with a shared ministry team of Revd Robert
Barthram and Revd John Downing and we invite you to join us at one of our churches situated across Reading.
The United Reformed Church doctrine is from the Reformed tradition and was formed by the amalgamation of the
Presbyterian and Congregational Churches of England and later with the Churches of Christ.
You will be made very welcome.

Safeguarding Policy Document - Oct 2019
IMPORTANT - St Andrew's Church Car Park - Warning Notice
Due to a high number of unauthorised users parking in rented spaces, the Church Meeting in October 18 agreed to use a car park management company to which authorised car park users can upload a picture of the offending vehicle occupying their space.
The company will then obtain the vehicle owner's details and issue a penalty charge notice of £100.
Prominent Warning Signage is on Display.
ReadiFood
Readifood have moved to bigger premises in Boulton Road and are providing essential support to an increasing number of families every month. Food is supplied by referral only so the need is very real.
