During her sabbatical, Pastor Cathy researched what other historic, downtown churches are doing to stay vital and relevant in their communities. Out of this came the idea for Congregation Conversations, where for three Sundays in September we’ll remain in the sanctuary for half an hour after worship to share our responses to these questions:

1)When did we do something new? Who initiated it? How was it decided?

2)What do we do well/love to do? What stands out as “us at our best?”

3)What’s possible? How might we use the building? Property?

Please think about these now, ahead of time, so that our sharing is efficient and inclusive. Come be a part of these important discussions!
