Westside Baptist Church - 2nd Congregational Survey

As British Columbia is gradually re-opening, there are still many restrictions in place regarding mass gatherings. It is possible that these restrictions may remain in place for longer than we anticipated. Since our last survey in June, the situation has changed. Therefore, we would like to find out again the congregation's preference about how ministry should be conducted under these constraints. Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions. This will greatly help the decision-making process of the Board. 

Access the survey with this link: www.tinyurl.com/reopen2 

Each family only needs to reply once. But if your family has different opinions among yourself you can also choose to reply separately. Please complete this survey before October 2, 2020. Thank you very much.
