NSUMC Leadership Board Communication Form

As the Leadership Board works with the congregation to increase two-way communication, we are offering the following form to further our effort.  As always, questions and comments can still be addressed to any member of the Leadership Board directly, but we also suggest the following form as others in the congregation may benefit from reading a Q&A.  We welcome comments, suggestions, etc. as we continue to seek more open pathways.
