PUMC Reopening Survey

Peterborough United Methodist Church has formed a church re-opening committee to develop a plan to re-open the church. It is important to know that there is currently no timeline to re-open. Any reopening timeline will need to insure we follow the guidance of our district superintendent and local government agencies (http://neumc-email.brtapp.com/files/fileshare/covid+19/relaunch+guidelines+neac+addendum+3.0.pdf). Still, we expect to re-open the church at some point and therefore need to plan accordingly.
This survey will provide the reopening committee with input concerning the important plans and decisions that need to be made. Also, there is still room on the re-opening committee if you would like to participate. Please contact Rev. Kathleene or Susan Miller-Lindquist if you would like to join.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
