• Please Take a Few Minutes To Fill Out the Stewardship Survey
  Perhaps when the ball dropped at midnight on January 1, your immediate thought wasn't "Finally, it's time for another Stewardship Campaign!" But, indeed, the new year does mean that those of us on the Stewardship Committee are beginning to concentrate on the spring Stewardship drive. As the first step in this drive, we are asking you to fill out a survey telling us what you most value about your membership in the church. The survey is now online at http://www.firstuunashville.org/survey/ and hard copies will be available at both services on January 17 and 24. Your ideas will guide our work in the coming weeks, so we hope you'll take a few minutes to fill out the survey.
