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. http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07edy9inbj0duswix/start 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.
