On Sunday 15 June,

As well as our morning service at St Andrew's, there will be 

a traditional service of Choral Evensong at 16h00

following the wording from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The service will be sung by St Andrew's Church Choir. 

For many people, Choral Evensong according to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer is a treasure of Church of England liturgy. Its choral style is uniquely characteristic of the Anglican Church and draws its origins from the sung liturgies of monastic communities of the early centuries of the church's life.

The service is enveloped by the music of organist and choir which sings verses from scripture, psalms, biblical songs (canticles) and an anthem.

Our  prayers are inspired and transported by the beauty of the words, the silences and the music, and we add our own voices to the service too, singing the hymns. It is a beautiful way to mark the end of a busy day and the transition into evening time.

Welcome

We are an Anglican church serving the South-West of France and are part of the Anglican Diocese in Europe.

We have two worship centres, St Andrew’s in the city of Pau, which meets every Sunday morning at 10.45 for a service of Holy Communion, and also in the village of Mazères in the Southern Gers at 11.15 every second Sunday in the month. 

We welcome children to our services and run a Sunday Club in Pau. 

We further hold a weekly Bible Study by Zoom and a monthly house group in Pallanne, near Marciac. 

We worship in English within the Anglican tradition, but Christians of all denominations and backgrounds are very welcome.  

Our congregation comprises English speaking expatriates and permanent residents from many countries, and French people from Pau and surrounding areas. 

St Andrew’s is a welcoming and lively place for all ages and backgrounds. Coffee and biscuits are served after the service in both worship centres.
