“Listening Session”: Windham Union Association
- Spring Meeting – Sunday May 21 – 1:30 to 3:30  
The purpose of the “Listening Session” is for the Vermont Conference of the UCC
(state-wide organization) to understand the needs of our churches and our pastors
in order to equip congregations for Christ's Ministry and Mission today and tomorrow. 

Each UCC church and its pastor across the state will complete the survey.
Responses will then be summarized for each church, each of the eight associations
and for all churches in the state. Please, please complete the survey as it is
important for planning in our church, churches in our association, and in the whole
state! Survey data will inform the discussions at the “Listening Session”.

It is important for our congregation members to participate in this anonymous
on-line survey.

The “Listeners” at the Spring Meeting are Rev. Dr. Lynn Bujnak,
Conference Minister and members of the Conference Board of Directors.
They will also moderate and facilitate the discussions.

Please consider going as a representative of our congregation!
The meeting is at the Grafton Church, Sunday, May 21 from 1:30 to 3:30.
I have space for two people in my car.
 
Flyers with more information are hanging in the church.
