Moving off the Map—as part of our ongoing discussion of our core values, letters have been sent to over 90 visitors to our church. Thank you to everyone who made phone calls, wrote letters, and organized the work we did. We are asking those who visited our church their opinion about our twelve core values. We will use this information as we continue to discern our core values.
