The October Indicator: A glimpse at Worship Attendance
Each month we will provide an “indicator” of how First Parish is doing. The monthly Indicator may be statistical in nature (such average attendance at Sunday services) or it may be more … fun. The general idea is to provide a sense of how the church is doing.
For October, we are sharing two slides that Kit & Nate showed at the recent Leadership Forum.
Average May Attendance
