FROM THE MISSION STUDY TEAM: Don’t miss our FINAL Congregational Gathering, Sunday, June 3, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. Bring your own lunch. Again, we will provide fruit, granola bars, and beverages. The Team will share some of the learnings and questions for further consideration culled from previous congregational gatherings, our survey, and research from our task subgroups. The Team appreciates the participation and input of the congregation over the past eight months as we have engaged in dialogue in previous gatherings. The Team is beginning to distill a mass of information. Please join us on June 3 for an “in-process” report-out!
Let us remind you of the journey we have taken together. Here is the list of questions addressed in previous gatherings.
10/02/11 – What is most important to me about MPC? What do I worry most about when I think about MPC? If I could change one thing about MPC, what would it be?
11/13/11 – History/past identity: When did you arrive at MPC? (Not necessarily when people joined) What brought you here? What are three highlights (or experiences that resulted in your feeling closer to the PC community) from your time here at MPC? What are up to three things that resulted in your experience of distress here at MPC?
01/22/12 – Identity in greater depth: How would you describe MPC to someone who doesn’t know us? What are the characteristics that are core to our identity? Who are we today as a community of faith?
02/26/12 – What is our purpose? (Why do we exist?)
03/17/12 – Who is our neighbor? Presentations by principals from Thornhill and Montclair Elementary Schools.
05/06/12 – What is God calling us to do? Who is God calling us to be?
