The 2040 Committee Needs You!
Thanks to everyone that was able to join last Sunday's Faith and Practice led by Tom Kuhns and Phil Adams, members of the 2040 Legacy/Heritage Committee. The presentation highlighted Christ Church's core founding principles and various inflection points which built the strength and leadership throughout our history of rectors and individual parishioners. This positive and faith based action by many individuals for the benefit of our broader congregation and community during times of opportunity and challenge continue to live on in our congregation today.
To that point...
The 2040 Committee Needs You!
The 2040 Committee is gathering information about other faith based communities (Episcopal or other) to better understand our unique strengths and ways other faith based organizations are adapting to our modern culture. We are looking at various elements including overall service opportunities, Christian education, bulletin layouts, worship, website layout, parking, lighting, and social events just to name a few.
Many of our Christ Church families travel over the summer which offers a perfect opportunity to capture information! Please look for a questionnaire/survey to share your observations as you travel and possibly visit other churches. Details to follow in our weekly email bulletin.
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance! If you have any specific questions or experiences to share please contact either
Molly Hufton or
Peter Macey.
