Thank you to all who participated in the Vision Process whether via Zoom, telephone, in person, or comments shared with all or some of the Transition Team. The journey began last fall with Reverend Dr. Marlayna Schmidt as our facilitator. She has led and participated in the Vision process at other churches. Because Marlayna is our interim minister, the Transition Team was offered the opportunity to participate in coaching sessions led by Marlayna's husband, Reverend Paul Nickerson, a nationally known Church Consultant. We met monthly as a group and monthly with other churches being coached by Reverend Nickerson.

Using his training materials augmented by the experiences of other churches in the training sessions, the Transition Team began crafting and refining the questions used to elicit your input and Vision for FFC. Periodically, Church Council was informed of progress, asked for input and updated on the status of the vision process. Feedback from Council was incorporated into the Vision Statement.

The results of your input and the comments garnered during the discussion sessions including the request to dream, to pray and to identify what is important to you were distilled and refined to create FFC's Vision Statement.

We invite all to read, reflect and join us in moving forward with it.

Maridee Kirwin, on behalf of the Transition Team
