Survey Results

For everyone who missed it, the C&C class took a survey a couple Sundays ago during Sunday School. About 90 people turned in surveys.

Here are some of the results:

1. About life groups:
25 folks said they could come once a week.
40 said they could come every-other week.

2. Ecuador:
17 people were very interested, and 50 more were interested but would like more information.

3. Communication:
As we already suspected, most people find out what is going on by coming to Sunday school and hearing the announcements (75). A good number follow the e-mails (62), and about a quarter of the class hears about events from each other (37). Of course, if we had made this survey available to people who do not come to Sunday school, we probably would have gotten some different results. But it is good to know that electronic communication does some good.

4. Suggestions:
We got about forty suggestions - they run the gambit from "more food" to a request for lady Sunday school teachers. Quite a few people asked about testimony times at fellowships. We also had a contingent ask for further small group activities at the end of Sunday school. Contact your local sponsor to see how your suggestion is being considered.

5. Evangelism:
29 people want to jump in right away.
35 want more information before they know if they are available.

6. E-mail addresses:
We got 30 new and updated e-mail addresses, which should make a big difference in how information gets spread.

Thank you to everyone who answered questions on our surveys. If you have anything else to add, please leave a comment and let us know.

Christmas Caroling Activity

Our traditional caroling activity is scheduled for December 15th. We will enjoy caroling, a delicious supper, a never-before-played game (similar to, but not really like the picture), and a white elephant gift exchange - not to mention a speaker and a whole bunch of fellowship.

Stephen Kidd would appreciate early sign-ups so he can organize the caroling end of things. Mrs. Tompkins would like early notice too, since she is in charge of food. The sign-up has a few more details. So, let us know if your are coming or if you need a ride.

SGI Update

The church leadership has decided to change our approach to SGI this year. We still firmly support this conference but will not be providing transportation or a leadership presence. WE encourage any of you who feel strongly about attending to consider carpooling. The dates of the conference are January 3-5, 2012. It is held at Inter-City Baptist Church in Allen Park, MI. Food, lodging, and conference materials are provided; all you need to do is get yourself there and back.

 

Deadlines for sign-up are:

   $50 early fee: until 12/1/2011

   $60 standard fee: from 12/1/-12/23/2011

   $70 late fee: from 12/23-12/30/2011

   $80 on-site fee: after 12/30, register and pay at the door

 

You may sign up online here. There will be an "Interested in Carpooling to SGI" sign-up sheet in Sunday School for a while. It will be on the table by the attendance sheets.
