Natural Church Development Team
"The Unveiling of Our Minimum Factor "
April 18/19
Our Natural Church Development (NCD) team is making good progress on reviewing the survey taken by 30 of our members last fall. We continue to meet bi-weekly. As you may recall NCD has identified 8 quality characteristics that affects a church's health and membership growth. We are at a very exciting time in this overall NCD process in which we need our congregation's input. On April 18th and 19th, at our 4 worship services, we will be informing the congregation of the following:
* Summarizing the overall survey results
* Identifying Mt Hermon's minimum factor
* Having folks sign up for one of the 8 Focus Groups
in late April and early May
Place April 18th or 19th on your calendar as it will be an exciting time. We believe our members will find it very interesting knowing our church's strengths and weakness. The NCD team hopes to see all our members at the unveiling of our minimum factor. See you on the 18th/19th!! |

Upcoming Commmunity Events
Keane Matthews, 9:55 alive, will sing with the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte in Beethoven's "Ode To Joy," Thursday, April 22, Friday, April 23, and Saturday, April 24, 2010.
The Symphony pulls out all the stops to honor Christof Perick in his final concert as Music Director. A celebration of joy, peace, and brotherhood, Beethoven's magnificent Ninth Symphony is the very work with which Maestro Perick began his tenure more than nine years ago, conducting a moving performance of the masterpiece just ten days after the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
