INFORMATION FOR CC MEETING 19/7/21 re strategic planning

How can we be inclusive?

Some comments from a conversation AlisonClarkson had with JanClear re keeping in touch

1. New people who’ve connected via live streaming during lockdown
   • important to follow up any contacts, if agreed
2. Sunflower welcoming is continuing for new people who attend worship
   • progress will be monitored
   • also important to follow up, if agreed
3. Members without internet or ability to connect;
   • members hesitant about attending worship in person;
   • members deemed as isolated.
   • Jan and I will check the rolls again for members in these categories and update the lists from 2020, so that they can be allocated a contact person who can make regular catch up phone calls.
4. Aged care facilities
   • No visits during lockdowns
   • All have been advised of our online services, with contact details
   • Some are already accessing these services
   • There have been a few issues with communication, where facilities have not been ready for a visit, in spite of a prior phone call; difficulty of contacting activities coordinator; expectation that timing of visit can be changed at short notice; lack of appreciation that leaders have other commitments.
