About 45 members of the Van Riper Ellis Broadway Baptist Church in Fair Lawn remained after the Sunday morning communion service on September 7 to enjoy pizza and salad and to take 45 minutes to appreciate what God has done among them.  Specifically, they completed ABCNJ's Endless Possibilities Health and Faithfulness Congregational Survey, which measures progress in 14 vital areas of church life and mission.  The will receive and discuss their results in early October.

ABCNJ's Endless Possibilities Health and Faithfulness Congregational Survey is a user friendly reflection tool that encourages every member of a church to share how he or she believes the church is doing in being God's people and serving the world.  Any ABCNJ church can benefit from it - all you need to do is schedule a Health and Faithfulness meeting at your church with any of our Associate Regional pastors or me.  In about an hour, you will receive a short Bible study, your people will complete the survey, and you will possess a guide for a two week pray strategy.

In cooperation with ABC's National Ministries, ABCNJ's Endless Possibilities Health and Faithfulness Congregational Survey is also being used by churches in Maine, Rhode Island and West Virginia.
