Mission Study Task Force Update - September, 2009

Dear Dutch Neck Congregants,
 
As some of you know through your participation in the recent gatherings, the survey results from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research are in. The report, along with a copy of the original survey, are now available at the Church Office for any and all members of the congregation to read and ponder. In addition to statistical and quantitative results, there is, not surprisingly, a huge comments section transcribed from your written responses. We were not a shy group!
 
The Mission Study Task Force has begun to discuss what the results seem to tell us. We will need the Holy Spirit, your prayers, and your comments to help up distill these results into a report that will point the way forward for our Church. We urge you to read the report and share with us your reactions and further comments.

Thank you,
 
Mission Study Task Force, Sarah Meadows, Gerry Mackenzie, Bob Murray, Lisa O'Shea, David Redman, Peggy Redman, Michael Ruddy, Aaron Sizer, Pat Tantum, and Rev. Paul Rhebergen.
