The purpose of this survey is to provide an opportunity for sharing your thoughts, questions, and feelings about FUMC as you discern the future God is calling FUMC to create. Six specific questions are included in the survey.
Your feedback is confidential and goes only to the facilitator(s), however G&A ask for your name, telephone number or email in the event follow-up would be helpful for clarification purposes. All contact information is confidential. Grace, Peace, and Blessings!
We encourage all to honor these guiding principles for discernment:
1) Pray for the leadership and congregation daily.
2) Listen more and talk less.
3) Breathe and stay calm.
4) Help people to feel affirmed and heard when possible.
5) Focus on the issue or challenges, not personalities.
6) Be curious and compassionate.
7) Make honest “I” statements without belittling those who stand at a different place.
8) Stay open to God whose middle name is Surprise!
