Faith Tiny Home Sacred Settlement Congregational Survey
As mentioned in Pastor John’s letter sent on 8/20, the Development Team has discerned an extension to the timeline of our review of a potential future Sacred Settlement at Faith.  Specifically, we have agreed that no congregational vote be held regarding a potential future Sacred Settlement at Faith until we are able to gather again in person as a congregation.  This will also enable time to continue ongoing discussions with the city and with our neighbors, both of which have been slowed due to the pandemic.

In the interim, we wanted to gather congregational feedback via a short survey.  We will share the results of this survey with the congregation in October, and will use this feedback to inform our next steps in the process.  We ask that you please submit your survey response by September 30.  Thank you in advance for your participation.
