Lord of Grace Family and Friends
By the time you have read this, the transition team will have met with over 70 members of Lord of Grace to get their thoughts and history with Lord of Grace. It’s great feedback and we are seeing some themes already.
Once more, it’s your turn –
The all-church survey is now live. The purpose of the survey is to collect demographic information on our parishioners, and to explore some more of your history and thoughts on Lord of Grace.
Who should take the survey? Any friend, staff, or member of Lord of Grace who is over 14. Each person should take the survey, not the household. In my house, it’s Denise, Jimmy and I, so we should complete 3 surveys
When are the survey’s due? We’d like to complete the surveys by the end of November, so please take your survey soon so we can meet that goal.
Where are the survey’s? The survey is online, and can be accessed by going to https://tinyurl.com/LOGTsurvey
If this is a problem for you, we will have paper copies of the survey in the office to be completed. Please note, any paper surveys, will have to be manually entered online, so if you can do it online, that will save us some work.
What are you going to do with this feedback?
The transition team will review it all together and determine if there are key themes that help tell the story of who we are and where we want to go. This will be used to complete a transition report to the council and to the congregation, and the Ministry Site Profile which is used by potential pastoral candidates to decide if they want to apply for our pastoral vacancy.
What can I do?
2 things
1.) Consider helping out with the Policy and Procedure or Job Descriptions review if you think you have a good eye towards policies and procedures or job descriptions
2.) Prayer…constant prayer
· Prayers for the new pastor who will be leading us, wherever he or she is, that he or she is starting to feel God’s calling to something new, and has a heart that wants to serve a church like Lord of Grace
· Prayers for the Transition Team that we continue to seek God’s will for Lord of Grace, not our own, and that we seek the church’s feedback on who we are, not our own thoughts.
