Both the church's senior and junior choirs create a beautiful sound by taking advantage of their unique surroundings. People First St. Andrew's, of course, is more than just bricks and mortar ... it's people. In the words of our Minister, Reverend Bert Ramsey, " if we gather in a place that is clearly cherished and well maintained, it speaks of both our vitality and the extent to which we treasure what our building represents." St. Andrew's has and always will be a place of worship, service and respect for all. For More Information Contact Richard Zurbrigg: 250-816-0145 Office: 250-753-1924 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
