Report of the Qualitative Review Team
By Lynelle Phillips, Chair of the Qualitative Review Team
Does the sanctuary seem crowded on Sunday Morning? Yes! We have noticed, too. The good news is that under Pastor David's leadership, the BCC Board, Elders, Worship Team, and the Qualitative Review Team (QRT) have begun discussing adding additional services to Sunday morning. We will provide World Café opportunities for BCC members and worship attendees to provide input in the coming weeks and months. We plan to build on lessons learned from the music and heart that have always shaped our worshipping community, our current unified service, and the results of the church-wide survey from last fall.
The QRT reviewed all narrative survey responses and identified seven themes to incorporate into future decisions. These themes were under the general headings of togetherness, change, worship style, timing and schedule, music, growth, and longings. Thank you to all who filled out the survey! These themes and narratives have been woven into all discussions regarding future options for worship.
We know worship is vital to our church, and we cherish many different types of worship styles. A proposal for moving forward will be shared at the next BCC Board meeting on February 27th at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall. As always, these meetings are open, and all are welcome to attend.
You may view the QRT’s PowerPoint presentation to the Board here.

Save the date for the Super Bowl Watch Party on February 11th. Let's get ready to watch some football! 🏈 | |
|
You’re invited to bring your kids and watch the Super Bowl with us. There will be big screens in the Fellowship Hall and many snacks (bring one to share). Kids who don’t want to watch the game can play in the CLC or make football-themed crafts. We anticipate some families will need to leave early for bedtime. That’s okay! We’d love to see you on Sunday, February 11th at 5:30.
If you can’t make it, your child can still celebrate the game by bringing soup cans for the Food Bank. Children’s ministries will be collecting cans for the next two weeks. Cans may be dropped off at Pathways or by the front doors.
GO CHIEFS!
