Congregational Vitality Project

Council has approved the distribution and completion of a survey at a worship service this summer. This survey measures the health of our congregation in fifteen different ways and will provide data for our annual report to the ELCA. The information will also help us plan for the fall and may be used in an upcoming call process for a new pastor or in work on cooperative ministry.

When the survey is distributed at worship, I encourage you to give it serious consideration.
