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.
