Congregational Survey Update: August 2011
In the Spring, we received your input to our 2011 Congregational Survey. Thank you!
You may recall that the - inspiration for this survey was to understand our strengths and opportunities here at A&P with a view to optimizing our Christian community grounded in the following knowledge...
"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."
Proverbs 19:21
We wanted to let you know that the initial objective is still very much alive and will become a major focus for us in the next while. Below is an outline of the actions that will be happening as well as the approximate timelines.
