Last call: Invitation to Pastor Transition Listening Circles:
The transition team (Cindi Brady, Ron Bigley, Kris Bartanen) has received in-person input from 28 NJLC members, plus email responses from 3 (thank you all!), with email input invited from more than 20 persons who are away from Fountain Hills. We would very much like to hear from about 12–15 folks who currently attend worship and have yet to participate in the transition process. All input will be summarized thematically, without attribution (i.e., responses are confidential).
If you have not yet provided input, you may contact cindi@njlc-fh.org, bigleyone@aol.com, or kris.bartanen@gmail.com to schedule an in-person conversation or send one of us your input on the questions via email:
Share a positive memory of New Journey. What is something from the past that you would like to see continue moving forward?
Share a challenging memory of New Journey. Is there anything from the past that you would like to leave behind?
What good things are happening at New Journey right now? What are you proud of?
What is the central challenge that New Journey is facing right now (beyond not having a pastor)?
What is your hope for New Journey in the next 5–10 years?
What might have to change in order to make your dream a reality?
What are 2–3 characteristics needed in our next pastor?
