Cottage Meetings Being Formed
In July, the Council formed a Long Range Planning Steering Committee as a first step in developing a Long Range Plan for our congregation. This committee will be gathering data from members of the congregation over the next few months. This will occur during cottage meetings in members’ homes. The meetings, designed to last less than two hours, will be led by a trained team from the Long Range Planning Steering Committee. Each team has specific questions about your perceptions of our community of faith. When these meetings are concluded, the results will be presented to the Church Council for further action and discussion, including developing a Long Range Plan (3-5 years) for our church. If you would like to host a meeting, please contact the church office. And, when you are called to attend a meeting, please make every effort to put it on your busy schedule. The meetings will begin sometime in November with a goal to conclude them by the end of January.
The members of the Long Range Planning Steering Committee are:
Dave Freeman, Jen Johnson, Pastor Randall, Helen Sousa, Doug Hixon, and Pastor Aberg
