The work of the Congregational Self-study continues. We know that we will have a report to Session by February, and that it might need editing into March.
That said, we had a great meeting last week with Stephany Crosby, a former First Church seminary intern, and current Interim Pastor at Bethesda Presbyterian.
It was great to catch up with her and to see where her life has led her.
She ran through maps of demographic data provided by a company that is contracted with the Washington Presbytery.
Not only was the information informative--it gave numbers and trends--it gave us a little hope. The Ballston-Virginia Square metro corridor is filled with people, according to the data, who are open to the idea of church life, but haven't made a committment to a church for any number of reasons.
The information was a little more complicated than that, but it seemed to offer evangelistic and new member opportunities for the church.
Just thought you'd want to know.
