The search team met on March 7, 2011. At the meeting, Scott Tornquist was elected Chair of the committee. Chereen Stroup was named secretary and Annette Boehlje was elected communication coordinator.
We discussed how to communicate best with the congregation and decided a variety of mediums would be utilized (bulletin, blogs, facebook, short announcements during service etc).
The first task is to create a survey to determine our strengths, needs and preferences. It was decided that the congregation would be invited to help us in preparing and selecting questions for the survey. Ken Carlson had provided a book of examples for us to use, and we will be looking at the same surveys over the next couple weeks. At our next meeting, we will schedule a workshop for this purpose.
Cool. Am I now a blogger if I post on this? Great job, people.

ReplyDeleteBrett - I don't know if that qualifies you or not. I can get you set up though if you want to start blogging...
