Good Shepherd congregational survey

Congregational Priorities. Page 1

Please rate the following activities as to their priority in our Church. We recommend reading through the entire list before you start answering. We encourage ALL Communing members (including our teenagers) to take survey. Please answer all questions.
Check 4 for the highest priority and 0 for the lowest priority. Keep in mind that an activity could be a high priority in aspiration only, (we may have a strong desire to do the activity but simply have not found a way bring the activity into full practice yet).
Check 2 or 3 for intermediate priorities.
Choose no less than 4 and no more than 6 of the activities on which you place the highest priority.

Please feel free to leave a comment in the comment box with each question. All comments will be read by the search team.
