Second B Friends,

A reminder that The Vision Leadership Team has put together a survey that we hope you might take a few minutes and answer. We are soliciting feedback on our 2020 Visioning progress, programming, and our COVID-19 response. Your answers are important to our planning, goal setting, and our decision making for the upcoming year.

The survey has been emailed to the congregation, and if you would prefer a paper copy mailed to your home, please call the office (806.783.0202) or email darcy@secondb.org.

Much Peace,

Jake Maxwell & Morgan MacKenzie
