DGFUMC Worship Survey

June 14, 2017 - 12:00pm

The Worship Work Area requests your assistance in helping us understand what elements of worship provide you with a meaningful and rich experience. We are asking members to complete the survey below with your preferences and either mail it back to the church office, drop it off in the collection plate, or place it in the designated box in the hallway outside the sanctuary by June 25. Each member is encouraged to complete their own form. Additional comments are welcomed.

Your responses will help us craft questions for the three World Cafés planned for July 16, August 20, and October 15 following abbreviated worship services. The World Café is a method for gathering information through conversation and collaborative dialogue that will help us design worship services that inspire and uplift.
