Before Pastor Chris left for his leave, he asked me to put together a box for your answers to the questions he had written down. The weekly slips of paper are in a blue basket. Therefore, with Pastor’s permission, I am listing each question with lines for your answers. (see page 2 and 3) You may clip this sheet out and drop it in the offering plate at the church or mail it to the office. Your
answers for Pastor Chris’ questions are very important!

Before Pastor Chris left for his leave, he asked me to put together a box for your answers to the questions he had written down. The weekly slips of paper are in a blue basket, but only two members have submitted an answer. Therefore, with Pastor’s permission, I am listing each question with lines for your answers. You may clip this sheet out and drop it in the offering plate, or at the church or mail it to the office. Your answers to Pastor Chris’ questions are very important!
1. Why did you join Messiah?
2. What keeps you coming back to Messiah?
3. What is the most important thing Messiah does?
4. Who are the people Messiah should reach out to?
5. If you had 4 hours a month to volunteer at/through Messiah, what would you do?
Page 3
6. Who do you connect with almost every day? Who do you wish you connected with almost every day? 7. What activity or group of people would make Messiah greater?
8. How are you called to lead at/through Messiah?
