Two-Year Initiative Proposals Are In!

The church is getting ready to select a topic for the next two- year congregation-wide social action initiative.

As you know, in 2011-2013, the church took on an initiative to address the problem of Hunger in our Community. A huge percentage of the congregation became involved in various facets of the project. Energizing the congregation to work together on a particular social action theme turned out to be extremely powerful and gratifying, and a great deal of good work was done.

Since the first initiative was such a big success, we are excited about embarking on the next project. We have received proposals for initiatives on four different topics. On the home page of the church web site, under the bottom center section titled Quick Links, you will find a PDF containing descriptions of each proposal. Please read them and think about which theme you would like to choose.

There will be a primary vote on Sunday, April 13th to select the top two proposals. At the congregational meeting on Sunday, May 4th, the final vote for the next two-year initiative will be taken. All of the topics are worthy of our hard work and dedication, and it will be difficult to choose just one. Of course, regardless of the outcome, none of us will abandon our favorite charities with which we are deeply involved. Participating in the church initiative is an opportunity to learn more about our community’s needs and how we may be of further service.
