As we enter this last year of Pastor Jacqueline Duhart’s ministry before retirement, we each carry hopes and dreams for our future ministry. The Ministerial Search Committee will host gatherings in the month of Survey September so that as members and friends we can share with each other how we view our congregation and what are our boldest visions.
At these “cottage conversations,” everyone will have the opportunity to participate in a congregational survey about the composition and preferences of our congregation. Both the conversations and the survey information will be used to describe ourselves and our wishes to prospective ministers.
If you are comfortable completing the survey questionnaire online, please bring your smart phone, tablet, or laptop with you. If you can’t make it to a cottage conversation, please pick up a questionnaire in Wendte Hall during hospitality hour or complete one online before September 30.
Please sign up in Wendte Hall to attend one of the cottage conversations listed below or sign up online today!
We need you! Please join us!
