Children's questions answered Does your child ask questions about the Bible, church, God, Jesus or why we do things as Christians? If so, forward those questions onto me and I will look into it for your child. We will answer the question during our Sunday School video. You can email a question or questions to childrensministry@washparkumc.org. I will let you know when your child’s question will be answered. We’d love to hear from you and know what they are thinking about! Research survey opportunity Hello,
My name is Acacia. I am currently in graduate school finishing my thesis. I am looking for your help! My research is centered around the ways people form their political, national, and religious identities and how they overlap with one another. This is an important topic that helps us better understand the ways people in our country engage in civic life. I am collecting data through a survey. The survey takes approx. 20-30 minutes to complete. The survey does not automatically record any personal identity information. People taking the survey can be of any voting age and from anywhere in the nation. The goal of my research is to use the survey to build a case-study of interviews of up to 10 people. Interviews leave room for more thorough conversation, giving people the opportunity to qualify or elaborate on their attitudes and beliefs. At the end of the survey, you can opt-in to being contacted for a potential interview. If you are comfortable, please consider this option. You will only be contacted by me and your identity will remain protected throughout the process. This work matters deeply to me and so does the time you give. Your voice is an important perspective, so please consider completing the survey at your earliest convenience. Thank you, Acacia acaciafante@gmail.com Use this link to participate: https://ucdenver.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3IBFg8UOYbl1rjo  Worship Services can be viewed live at 9:30am on Facebook AND YouTube, or afterwards with the links found on the website and weekly emails.
