Your THRIVE Core Team and Accountability Team would like to thank you for filling out the congregational survey. We recently received the results and we are studying them to understand how to best use them and present them to you. There is lots of data on strengths and limitations and opportunity for growth. This data is compared to other congregations in the US.

Rest assured that we will share this information with you.  We want to make sure we have a process that will be helpful to all.

Please keep in mind that the THRIVE process is a two-year process.

Due to an upcoming move, David Sgarlata had to resign from the team that attends the Saturdays meetings.  Linda Francis Sullivan (new member) and potentially Pat Gulik (already on the team) will be stepping into that spot.  Kate Gantzer-Hayes found the need to step down from the accountability team. We would love to have someone from the 9 a.m. service join this ministry.

Thanks for the wonderful participation (140 people) in the survey.

Peace,

-Steven Kvaal and the Thrive Team 

A new ministry at Grace Church!  We are fortunate, most Sundays, to have first-time worshipers with us here at Grace.  Some then join us at Coffee Hour, but some do not.  We would like to offer brief, guided tours of our worship space each Sunday after the 10:30 service as another form of hospitality.  Would you like to join this group to give tours?  Speak to Dennis Northway, Cliff Hunt, Sally Kidwell, Charles Wells, John Seaton or Joanne Schochat for further information.
