Congregational Vitality Yearbook 2018-2019

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Is. 43:19a

The Congregational Vitality Team and Coaches of the PNEC promoted a variety of initiatives during the past year designed to assist local churches in revitalizing their programs and ministry. As a way of evaluating and communicating these efforts, we will prepare a yearbook for 2018-2019.

We envision this as a way to invite the congregations, pastors, and members of the conference to celebrate the good and faithful work done this year. In addition, we hope this tool will promote broad cooperation and collaboration throughout the conference.

Information for the yearbook gathered in late spring and early summer of 2019 will be collated and made available at the fall meeting of the conference scheduled for November 2, 2019.

The yearbook will be a place to 1. Share ideas 2. Celebrate successes 3. Offer tips for overcoming challenges

To that end, please respond to the following questions in short answer or essay form.
