WEEKLY UPDATES

Dear Friends,
 
The congregation took a big leap forward in the process of finding a new pastor on Sunday, electing the Pastor Nominating Committee. One of the first tasks they will complete is meeting with Holy Cow Consulting to review the Congregational Assessment Tool on Survey Monkey (yes...CAT...COW...MONKEY!)
 
So far, 25 people have gone online and filled out the survey. That's a great start! We still need your participation. The tool will help us create a snapshot of the church's identity and what kind of pastor might be a good fit for the congregation. 
 
A question has come up about the survey, especially about "the pastor," such as, "our pastor presides over worship with care, engaging the people in a meaningful way." This should be answered according to your previous pastor, Joe, rather than me. I hope this helps clarify. If you get stuck on any question, I would encourage you to just answer to the best of your ability. 
 
Some have done the survey in only 40 minutes! It's taken others a bit longer, but this the most important way that every member of the congregation participates in the search for a new pastor. You are helping your church and your PNC with your participation. September 30 is the last day!
 
Peace,
Ron
