Annual Involvement Survey
On Sunday, February 7, all Northside members will
be asked to fill out an involvement survey. This article will answer
some frequently asked questions about the survey.
Q – Why do we use an involvement survey?
A – We have found it to be a good way to quickly find out how several
hundred members want to serve. You can also get involved by volunteering
directly to the leader of a ministry. Plus, I’d love to talk with you
anytime about specific ways you can use your gifts to serve God and
others here at Northside.
Q – I filled out a survey last year. Why do I need to do it again?
A – Many of the jobs in the 2010 survey are different than the ones
listed in the 2009 edition. For that reason, and to give you the
opportunity to change what you want to volunteer for, we start over each
year.
Q – How can I submit a survey?
A – Surveys will be handed out during Bible class on Feb. 7 and all
members of Northside will be asked to fill one out and return it by the
end of class. If you miss class you can pick up a copy of the survey at
the auditorium doors after worship or at the Information Both in the
south end of the foyer, fill it out, and return it to the Information
Booth as soon as possible. You can also complete the survey at
Northside’s Web site: www.northsidecoc.org.
Q – I volunteered for a job last year and was never asked to do it. Why?
A – We try hard to use all of those who volunteer, but there are two
reasons it’s not always possible to do so. Some jobs only require a few
workers, and some call for training or experience that you may not have.
Q – Why are some jobs that I want to volunteer for not listed in the
survey?
A – Many jobs at Northside already have enough volunteers. We try to
only list jobs in the survey that we know we’ll need help with. And some
deacons and ministry leaders prefer to recruit directly when they have
something they need help with.
Those who lead our ministries at Northside depend on the annual
involvement survey to find out who they should recruit to help with the
work. And the survey is an excellent way for YOU to find a way to use
the gifts God has given you to serve others. Thank you for taking the
time to complete yours and turn it in.
