Worship Service Time Survey Results

Survey results are in and Worship and Music and Church Council met to discuss them. 70 people responded to the survey and many made comments (which were very helpful). Thank you to all who participated. 66% of those responding felt we should stay at one service.

Upon recommendation of Worship and Music, Council voted to stay with one service for the time being. The service will be at 9:30 am as it has been during the summer months. Sunday School times are still uncertain; Educational Ministry will work on that and let the congregation know. Worship and Music has committed to revisiting this issue next June to see how it is working for the congregation.

We know that not everyone will be happy with this decision and can only hope that each of you will try and adjust to this change in our church lives.
