Weekly Message from the Rector

This Week – June 16, 2013

 

We learned a LOT about ourselves in the recent Sunday morning survey in which many of you participated. Shortly you will receive a full report about this survey from a team of folks who have helped us to interpret the study, so be on the alert for this. In the meantime, here are a few observations.

Based upon the twelve hundred or so folks who took the survey:

  • 90% have been Christians for more ten years. 
  • We are multigenerational with all age groups fairly well represented.  15% of the congregation is 66 or older.  23% of the congregation is between 19 and 35.
  • Well over half of the congregants (58%) have sought healing prayer for themselves or for a friend or family member.
  • 42% of congregants with children 18 or under said they are “too busy” to spend time educating their children about faith.  On a more encouraging note, 69% reported praying with their children “daily” or “several times a week.”

 

More to come.

In the family,
