The Congregational Self-Study Team had another productive meeting last night. The most important conclusion to the evening was a task list that we have faith will bring us to a final report for the Session's February meeting (Feb. 28).
Most likely, this report will not be the end-all final, but a report that the Session will first digest and then use to ask us for more information or a deeper analysis.
What we give them in February will include information from the focus groups, the surveys, and other interviews and data sources. Therefore, this will not be a rough draft, but a final draft that may require some further development.
This has been a long process for the members of the CSST, and Charlotte Lohrenz (she's been wonderful in leading this important work), but we are carrying on, happy with the work we have accomplished.

Just a note of appreciation for this Team. They have been everything you can hope for in a church working group: a variety of people who have different skills, insights, priorities and gifts. They each are clear about themselves and open to what others need and want for the church. They have really worked hard and have swapped around who is working hardest based on ability and what's going on in each others lives.
And of course, the church has been incredibly generous with its input.
The Team is only, now, beginning to really look outside the church doors.
So we will see what the God will do with FPC...
Peace,
Charlotte Lohrenz
interim pastor
