FACES OF FAITH

Community Profiles at St. Andrew's Church

Lesley Jensen

1) What is your favourite hymn?

  The Old Rugged Cross.

2) Do you have a favourite passage from the Bible?

  The first gift I received from my Godparents was a small bible embossed with my name.  This included a note inside with a passage chosen for me.

"Suffer the little children to come unto me."  Mark 10:14

3) What is the best book (biblical or non-biblical) that you have read in the last six months?

  Finn the half-Great by Theo Caldwell

4) What is your favourite style of music, and what is likely on your stereo / ipod / car radio right now?

  I have my very own sound system that only I can hear.  If it otherwise occurs to me to put something on, that would probably be music of the classical and peaceful sort. 

5) What is your earliest memory of church?

  The smell not unlike that of the pages of a brand new book.  The sounds of comfort and friendship.  And the touch of a gentle hand upon my head in blessing.

6) What attracted you to become a part of the St. Andrew's community, and what keeps you here?

  My first visit to St. Andrew's Church was very reminiscent in many ways to the church going experience of my childhood.  I recognized a harmonious fit.

7) What is your greatest hope for St. Andrew's?

  I wish continued longevity for St. Andrew's.  A place of hope and home for many more people and years to come.
