Two items of note from the BC Synond

1.    THE ELCIC Vision Task Force wants your stories of the faith, life and identity of our National Church Members of the ELCIC Vision Statement Task Force are working to gather stories of our faith, life and identity with hopes of gaining new clarity into our work and eventual recommendations. We are seeking for your input as we discern together who we are as a church and what God is calling us to be in the future. Tell us your story by engaging in an exercise of imagination. We hope you can take a moment to explore the questions in this survey and offer your feedback. These questions can be answered individually or in a group. Our hope is to have stories gathered from across the ELCIC. Deadline for responses is March 31.
