Thanks to all of you who attended the Where We Gather Town Hall on Sunday, October 6. The discussion was great and gave the Board a lot to work with. For those who could not attend and for those who did attend but want to study the data further, links to the full report and Power Point are in the ContinUUm. We look forward to further discernment around this issue.

The Where We Gather team: Leo Jones, Peter Dowling, Jim Flaherty & Abby Crowley
