December 2021 Pastoral Message & Survey (Please respond by Dec. 15th)

Greetings Mt. Olive:

As I stated in our Member’s Meeting, I had begun making plans for us to return to “in person worship” after the beginning of 2022; then came the announcement of Omicron. I am giving careful attention to how severe Omicron will be (whether it will be as or more severe than Delta) and we will watch its transmission over the next several weeks.

While we watch to determine when it would be safe for us to reopen, I would like to gather some information from you to help us to understand how you perceived the Church’s ministry during this pandemic, and what you would like to see take place after we reopen. We have again retained the services of Rev. LaKesha Womack, founder of #Rethinking Church Strategies LLC, to help us to both understand how the pandemic has changed the nature of ministry going forward and, how we can be effective in this new landscape. To help us, she has worked with me to create a Survey for each member to complete. This will only take a few minutes and it is completely anonymous, so we ask you to tell us how you feel. The link to this Survey is below, and the Survey will be open from Sunday the 5th till Monday the 15th. Please, I ask that everyone in your household submit a response. And for someone like Mrs. Melvin, I ask that Marilyn (or Gwen for Mrs. Tanner) would help her to fill it out. I am looking forward to receiving your responses and we will share those with you in January.

Until then, I pray that everyone will have a Happy Holiday Season.

Sincerely,

Dr. Broadnax
