The ministerial search survey and focus groups are ready for your input! They will provide the ministerial search committee with vital information about who we are as a congregation, where we are going, and what kind of leader we are looking for in a settled minister. We need everyone to participate in the next few weeks! Look for a committee member wearing a colorful sign or come to the search table on the patio on Sunday or contact Chris Butler at chris.butler@pegroups.com for information about taking the survey. Also sign up for a specific focus group based on time and location at the search table or contact Nancy Harmon (nwharmon06@gmail.com).

The ministerial search committee is beginning to gather information from members of the congregation about who we are, where we are going, and what kind of a leader we are looking for in a settled minister for our fellowship. This is a vital step in the process and we need everyone to participate. A survey will be available soon. We are also looking for hosts and participants for cottage meetings/focus groups in the coming weeks. Members of the search team will be present at each meeting to facilitate.
Please contact Nancy Harmon (nwharmon06@gmail.com) before 8/22/2016 if you would be willing to host or participate in one of these small group discussions. Sign up sheets will also be available on the patio after Sunday services.
