DID YOU COMPLETE THE RECENT CHURCH SURVEY?
HELP US HELP YOU HELP OTHERS
Clergy, Lay Delegates, Board Members if you haven’t completed our recent Church Survey, please take a few minutes to do so. It’s OK if we have duplicated church responses. We will sort it out. We do want to hear from you. In one of the early questions, if you do not know of anyone in your congregation who has tested positive for COVID-19 just enter 0 where it asks for the number of staff, leaders or members.
