Those of us of a certain age will remember an advert for a breakfast cereal which, when eaten gave us a certain glow which kept us going for a good period of time – those of you who are a wee bit younger should check out Youtube and type in “ready brek” and you will see what I am talking about.

18 months ago, we were looking for a new church. Our youngest daughter met a few kids from St Andrew’s at an SU camp and actually encouraged us to try St. Andrew’s!

As a family we had visited St Andrews a couple of times over the years and had enjoyed the service and fellowship. However, you tend to look at things a wee bit closer when you are looking to join a church.

What struck us initially was the sheer volume of people attending. However what was evident was that this was a church which had a glow about it and we felt it straight away – the Holy Spirit was amongst us. We love the way the church is not afraid to get its hands dirty with the various ministries it is involved with. Those ministries not only serve the community but also our congregation and other parts of our world.

Other strengths we see within the church are the large amount of people who contribute to its life and its ability to include new people in its work.

In addition, the church is always trying to improve how it serves by embracing new ideas, technologies or tackling tough issues – a church that definitely does not rest on its laurels.

We love coming to our church and it certainly feels like “ours” and that is testimony to the way it listens to what God wants.

So, to get that glow week on week, St Andrew’s is the place to be and dare I say it….a far warmer feeling than I ever got from the Ready Brek!
