The Church Survey has been available for comment for the last 4 weeks. At last count, we have had over 375 members take the survey. We want to give everyone a chance to voice his or her opinion, so we are keeping the survey available for one more week, but this is your last chance to let the Church know how well it is doing in engaging you. And in case you are wondering, the survey is 100% anonymous so please be as honest as you would like in your responses.
