The Church of the Resurrection
Vision 2020 Survey

Dear Parishioners and Friends -

We are a sacramental people, who claim that the outward and visible is a means to the inward and spiritual.  As we explore our mission and ministry through the Vision 2020 process, we ask that you complete this survey that includes a snapshot of where we are today and opportunity for you to share where God may lead us in the future.

We were heartened by the breadth of youth and adults who participated in the Resurrection Walks.  We hope to achieve an even greater depth of participation in our survey.  We encourage every member of your family able to read to respond individually.

Thank you for taking 5-7 minutes for this effort and respond no later than September 10.

Warm Regards,

Frank Wideman,Chair, Vision 2010 Committee
