Creating a Covenant of Engagement
  • Sunday, February 20, 3:00 – 5:00 pm by Zoom or
  • Wednesday, February 23, 7:00 – 9:00 pm by Zoom
All congregants are invited to participate in the formulation of a Covenant of Engagement. This covenant will provide the rationale and guiding principles for the ways individual members engage with each other, with ministers and staff, with operating structures (Boards, committees, teams, etc.), and with the congregation as a whole.
Facilitated by Rev. Connie Grant and members of the Transition Team, congregants will be invited to respond to two simple questions that will provide the basis for the covenant. The participation of as many congregation members as possible will help to make this a useful document that will help the congregation thrive. Responses will be incorporated into a document to be reviewed and voted on by the congregation.  Look for Zoom details in the Order of Service email and on the Member Portal page.
