Executive Team - goals and future
As you know, the Executive Team has been leading some sessions on Sunday mornings about the goals of the community. We have had two (2) of these sessions thus far, and another one is planned for November 1st.
Those leading the process have noticed that it is less a conversation and more a presentation, and so want to offer a time for further conversation and to delve deeper. We realize that what we are receiving from the Sunday morning time is a quick glimpse at how people are reacting to the goals as presented, but the opportunity to respond or share more is not there.
So there will be an evening for further discussion about the goals and future of Jubilee United Church.
This session will take place on Tuesday, November 3rd at 7:00 pm. Use the worship link and/or telephone number to access the conversation. Mark your calendars now!
The goals are below. We will focus on the 2nd page on November 1st at 10:00 am. On November 3rd we will talk about all of them again.

Support the church beyond your lifetime. Planning now to make a gift in the future for the work of the church, such as a bequest in your will, lays the foundation for a stable and exciting future. A gift in your will is the most common form of planned or legacy gift. There are other ways to remember the church beyond your lifetime, if you would like information, please contact Rev. Graham.
