Our Christian church family strives to provide an ever more caring and nourishing experience for those who cross our threshold.
In 2008 the Worship Committee of St. Andrew’s undertook a survey of worshippers in order to gather feedback about how people are experiencing our Sunday gatherings. Some 57 people took time to fill out the questionnaire and the committee is presently reviewing those responses and considering ways to strengthen and enhance our worship life in the light of what was said. This report summarizes the responses and indicates some of the areas where changes will be explored, or have already begun.
