Getting Involved Survey

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
·      With all areas no experience is required. Training and support is provided if 
       needed. You just need to be prepared to
       give things a go and be used by God.

·      When you indicate interest you are not signing up for life. It is expected that 
       there is a try-out period and then if you think you have found your niche then
       there is at most only a commitment for the rest of the year.

·      This survey has three parts. Please fill in all parts.

Part 1 - Serving on Sundays

Like at home with the family there are just jobs that need to be done. 

As you can see below these are things anyone can do and like a big family the
best way is for us all to just pitch in and help. 

You will not be called upon more than once a month.

Part 2 - My Ministry at St Andrew's
