Healthy Congregation Meeting

March 1, 2015

 

 

Pastor Jane mentioned that the notes from the Healthy Congregation meetings will be posted on the COTC blog.

 

Thoughts about how we can become the congregation that we want to be:

 

•     Send a letter to past members who have left the church not because they were unhappy at COTC, but for various other reasons and see what they like about their new church.

•     Send a letter to current members to find out what “excites” them about what we're doing and what more we can do that would cause them to be even more excited.

•     Hold a reunion and invite members who have left to get back together and catch up with those still here, and even consider returning.  It would give us a forum to share our excitement about God and each other.

•     Can we be a “bridge” through other organizations that we individually belong to in order to carry the message about what we're excited about at COTC?

•     Having events and programs to share helps us to do a better job of bridging.

•     Organize activities that we can do together as a congregation to have fellowship and fun with one another.
