      <image:caption>Early June, a group of approximately a dozen lay and staff leaders, along with consultant Christina Drouin, prayerfully reviewed all 324 initiatives submitted by our congregation. Each initiative was evaluated based on its potential impact and implementation feasibility. From this review, the team identified 39 overarching strategic initiatives. These initiatives reflect the collective voice of our congregation, combining similar ideas and incorporating others as action steps within broader initiatives.</image:caption>
