As a follow-up to last year’s CAT survey, the Strategy Team is hosting a series of focus groups to listen and learn from you about your experience of worship at First UMC — what helps you engage, where the music and the sermon connect (or don’t), and what we might do better. Each session lasts 60 to 90 minutes, with up to 8 participants per group. Please sign up for the date that works best for you.
