A New Name for a New ChurchHave you been waiting for news on our impending name chan= ge? Guess what…we’re getting closer! The Vision Team has narrowed= the field to these five names: Peace United Open Arms United New Spirit United Grace United We will be canvassing the congregation over the next few = weeks to get your top picks. Please mull them over and mentally “try them on.” How do they connect with you spiritually? What would they tell others about our church community? Imagine how these names might look in a multi-color brochure, or on a logo or letterhead. Pick up a new names fly= er from the news table and post it where you will see it daily. Plan to atte= nd the Future Talk on November 19th to share ideas and thoughts about the name for the church.
