CHRISTIANS AGAINST POVERTY
We are glad to have links with Christians Against Poverty.
We are just coming to the end of a CAP Job Club, aimed at supporting those who are trying to get back into employment. One-to-one help is given by trained coaches in writing CVs, interview skills, and so on. Another Job Club is planned for later in the year.
Several Oxford churches organise CAP activities, such as debt counselling, but St Andrew's is the only one with a Job Club.
On 6 April we had a special service featuring CAP, with Alison Berry of CAP as our speaker. She outlined the help given by CAP to the many in the UK who experience poverty and other need.

WELCOME TO A NEW BABY!
Welcome to Aiden August, second child of JOY Place leaders Hunter and Amberle Brown, a brother for Atlas.
EASTER MESSY CHURCH
Miniature gardens, Easter bonnets, decorated biscuits, and baskets were a few of the crafts on offer on Good Friday at our Messy Church, aimed at children of primary school age and their families. ​About 35 children and 40 adults came along. We also had a football-kicking competition on offer for the first time, which was won 8-year-old Harriet. Well done!
​
We run four Messy Churches a year, two in St Andrew's and two in St Michael's Cumnor. The next will be in the summer at St Michael's.
NEW MUSIC!
We recently enjoyed music with a new sound in our morning service: two guitars and a keyboard. We have a Wycliffe Hall student on placement with us this term. He is a guitar-player and brought along some members of his group.
