Join us this Sunday, April 7th, in the Student Union to take our Parish Survey.
On the first Sunday after Easter this year, All Saints’ Episcopal Church will begin a process that we have not attempted in over two decades. We are asking for your participation in a survey that will help the Vestry gauge the strength, vitality, and trends in our church. The information gained from this assessment will help us gain a clearer picture of who we are and what is most important in determining the future of All Saints’ Episcopal Church.
With a parish so varied in both age and technical skill, and to capture both high-quality and consistent responses from a wide range of individuals, we have decided to ‘keep it simple’, and will conduct the assessment in a manner similar to the voting method used during our Annual Parish Meeting. In order to take the survey you must meet the criteria to be eligible for inclusion in this process (member in good standing; over the age of 15; have to attend at least 4 services over the last year; be a giver of record). Beginning on Sunday, April 7, surveys will be available in the ASES Student Union to complete after both services (there will be no Adult Forum that Sunday). We will also have copies available after both services on Sunday, 4/14, and 4/21. For those unable to complete the survey on a Sunday, copies will be available at the White House to fill out during the week.
All answers are anonymous, and we will have no way of matching a survey to a particular person. With this in mind, we ask that you candidly share your perceptions, opinions, and experiences. Please do not discuss or share your personal opinions or answers with other parishioners, so the results will be unbiased. Our future direction depends on your participation and honest answers.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the church office or any of the committee members.
Many thanks,
Stephanie Burk Sr. Warden
