5 Naming and Branding Initiative The Shared Ministry Team has been discussing finding a new name for our joint ministry - a name that speaks to who we are and what we are about. A number of possible names have been suggested and are listed below for you to consider. The congregation is encouraged to submit further ideas. There will be a "Suggestion Box" on the Gathering Area table at Pioneer for the month of November (with paper & pens) - you may put your name suggestion in the box or on the offering plate. In December the names will be compiled and posted and you will have the opportunity to "vote" for your favourite. The top 3-5 names will be brought to the congregation for a further vote. This is the next step in our Shared Ministry journey - everyone is encouraged to participate!
