PREPARING FOR THIS WEEK’S TOWN HALL MEETING, WEDNESDAY @ 9 PM (EST)

PREPARATION: Please do your best to dive into the data from our church-wide survey and also re-famaliarize yourself with our experimental hospitality covenant from this summer…..prior to our time together.  You also have the option of viewing a recorded slide presentation (20 minutes). The presentation gives an overview of the survey results, including a breakdown of responses from age groups, comments made by the church family, and a quick overview of the experimental hospitality covenant.  (All of the links can be found below) OBJECTIVE:  We’re not all on the same page as it relates to our tolerance for risk and common understanding of what to expect when we participate in church events in the same physical space. We need to be vulnerable and honest with one another in laying out a basic understanding of what someone should expect when they show up to a church event.  Whereas, no decisions will be made at this meeting, we do hope to walk away from the meeting with a better understanding of where folks are on the subject and determine if we think a consensus might be possible in the near future.  The Church-at-Large will need to discern how to proceed with a covenant, related to our physical gatherings this fall, before we launch fall programming.  Recorded Slide Presentation:  Survey link for risk threshold and  Temporary Hospitality Covenant: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-CZZ66Z3B7/ Survey link for risk threshold and Temporary Hospitality Covenant WITH responses broken down by age:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-JDNJX3GB7/ Link to Hospitality Covenant Results for entire survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-CZZ66Z3B7/ Results for entire survey with responses broken down by age:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-M7ZRG3GB7/ Zoom link for this week's Town Hall Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89484040531?pwd=YVkvSGZmajg0Mkk4K1h1UnpObnAvdz09 +16468769923,,89484040531# US (New York) +13017158592,,89484040531# US (Germantown)
