T.J. and the 8th Principle Task Force for completing and reporting the Five Practices of Welcome Renewal for 2019!  As of 2019, annual completion of the Five Practices is required to maintain our Welcoming Congregation certification.  Going forward, the Social Justice Council has joined the existing teams to ensure annual certification in 2020 and beyond.
