A Massive thank you to all everyone who took the trouble to complete the online survey. It is really helpful when planning to have some sense of the prevailing mood and whether our provision is sustainable. Although one thing increasingly evident is that wellbeing and attitudes to online content are very changeable. Particularly with fluctuating restrictions and their implications.

There were 82 respondents including 2 who are new to St Lukes during lockdown. This will no doubt be weighted towards those of us who are comfortable online. Our current electoral roll is around 140 so we might of captured the views of around half our congregation? Most had been to the online 11:00am Sunday service. A third had been to zoom morning prayers and a third to the zoom quiz.

A quarter of viewers are watching alone and 15% are watching with kids and or teenagers. Which means that on average, for every screen view, there are 1.9 folks watching.

A large majority of folks said they valued most seeing Familiar Faces, followed by Connection, Inclusivity and Variety. Some also mentioned Morning Prayers, Music and the simple fact that it happens. Many said thank you which is really appreciated by those of us putting services together.

Once this crisis is over 79% would be interested in some kind of online presence although not necessarily weekly. Other than an occasional high quality online service or morning prayers, ideas included:
A Coffee / Social / Book / Film / Newbie club.
A Midweek / Bible / Home group.
An Evening / Iona / Quiet service.

So if you feel like you can make happen or contribute to any of the above, please do get in touch.

Once again,
