Forum Review

Thanks to all who attended the forum last Sunday to hear about the CAT results. 70-75 people learned about several key findings, including the Top Five Drivers of Satisfaction (which place Sylvania UCC on the High Energy/High Satisfaction quadrant of the Energy-Satisfaction Map), Descriptive Indices such as our theological perspective and flexibility style, and numerous Performance Indices relating to hospitality, morale, conflict management, governance, spiritual vitality, readiness for ministry, educational engagement, and worship and music.

We continued with an overview of our top Critical Abilities for the Pastor and Ministry Priorities. For suggestions from the congregation on how we will accomplish our Ministry Priorities we broke into small discussion groups. The Transition Team will compile the various ideas for those in the relevant ministry areas to use in future planning.

Our thanks to Al Palmer who unveiled the draft of the Vision Statement and to Jeanne Brockmyer who gave an update on the activity of the Search Team. Both committees have done great work as evidenced from their reports.

For those who are interested in reading the survey documents please see Amy in the office. You'll find 70+ pages of information about our church, how we see it now and our goals for the future.

The members of the Transition, Vision and Search Teams are listed under the "About the Blog" tab above -- all of us welcome your thoughts, suggestions, questions, comments and concerns!
