Input on the First Six Months

    In July, a survey was sent to the congregation asking for input on how pleased or displeased folks are with changes since I became Rector. Only eleven people responded to the survey, so the responses are not representative of the majority of the congregation. However, here are the responses from those who gave input:

• The highest level of pleasure expressed was placed on the Renovations of the Building and the Quality and Content of the Preaching. Next in line were Leadership and Participation of members, and Quality and Variety of Music.
• There were no areas of collective displeasure. However, individuals expressed concern about the Children's Ministry and Pastoral Care.

    A noteworthy comment was made about a concern that we would change the sanctuary.  There are some changes that we may make to the chancel area, but they will be done in consultation with the congregation and will not necessarily be permanent. I, your vestry, and the community are committed to seeing our beautiful sanctuary remain a lovely reflection of 19th century aesthetic.
   It is my intention to send out a survey twice a year: in July and in February. Thank you to all who participated in the first survey!   Thanks be to God, we are not in a "Family Feud" even though we know what the "Survey Says..."
