Chapel
You may have noticed there are now tables and chairs set up in the Chapel. The Service Team decided to try out the Chapel as a meeting room after the Hungarian Church left in May 2018. We have noticed, since the tables and chairs were added, the Chapel has been used on a much more consistent basis by various different interest groups, as well as outside groups.

Peace Candle
The Peace Candle is an initiative of the Worship Group. You will find these packages in a cupboard in the Narthex. The Peace Candle is meant to be a gift from the St. Andrew's congregation to another congregation. If you find yourself travelling to another city or country and plan to visit another church, please take one of the Peace Candle packages with you to share "Peace" with another church. If you are also aware someone is attending our church service from another church, you may also offer them a Peace Candle package. See Ruth McKenzie or Rita Swan for more information and to get a candle package.
