218 CATs submitted! 109% of our goal of 200
This is truly a remarkable response -- thank you to all! Moving on ... we won't stop posting entirely but our efforts can now be directed to what the assessment tells us.
The data will be compiled and evaluated by Holy Cow! Consulting and reports will be distributed at the Recommendations Retreat, December 16 and 17, attended by the program staff, Cabinet members and the Vision, Search and Transition Teams. Soon after the retreat, condensed reports will be available in the gathering area and the full report may be accessed in the church office.
Next up: Mark your calendars now for January 22, 2012, 2 - 4 pm, to attend a church-wide forum in Wright Hall to learn more about the CAT's findings and our plans to implement the suggestions. This will be an opportunity to engage in discussions concerning the transition period and perhaps to discover areas in which you may be willing to serve.
A reminder: This Sunday, December 4, we will have a brief congregational meeting following the second service -- and preceding the Advent Gathering -- to approve the nominees for the Senior Pastor Search Committee.
Look for soon: A wall chart in the gathering area depicting the timeline for the Vision, Search and Transition Teams with descriptions of 'where we're at' during each phase of the journey.
As always, we're available for questions, concerns and comments.
Again, thanks for making your voices heard!

Great idea for a timeline. That would be helpful! Glad we hit the 200 mark!
