A big thank you to everyone who filled out the survey and participated in our focus groups and cottage meetings! The Ministerial Search Committee has been hard at work going through all of your comments and feedback.
The final result is the Congregational Record, a compilation of answers to over 50 questions that provide information to prospective ministerial candidates about topics ranging from our building and grounds to the congregation’s organizational structure to UCE’s priorities for a new minister. We will be submitting this record to the UUA by December 1.
Before we do that, however, we want to share with the congregation what we have learned. Your input about what’s important to us as a congregation, what kind of a congregation we want to be, and how we live out our mission is what gives this process integrity. The Congregational Record should be a reflection of the broad range of voices we have in our congregation.
To this end, we will be presenting some of what we’ve learned from you all this autumn during coffee hour after the Sunday service on Sunday, November 22. We’ll share an overview of some of the major issues addressed in the Congregational Record, and there will be a way for you to offer feedback.
This is your last opportunity to share your thoughts about anything our next Senior Minister should know about UCE. We hope you will use your influence and join us on November 22.
The Ministerial Search Committee is grateful to the Endowment Committee for funding the search process.
