Strategy for Parish and Community Needs and Resources
Hold up, everyone. I've decided to work on a simpler, more immediate document that I hope will be ready soon. If you wish, feel free to still download and look at the document below, which I will resume working on soon.
This is a work in progress! Thank you for taking a look and making recommendations.
I feel like it's lacking a lot of the "Here's why this is important..." but I am going to assume that those who are interested already know that, and that can be incorporated into later drafts, if needed.
I welcome any and all feedback! Thank you!

Strategy for Parish and Community Needs and Resources - Draft 1 |
Since the most recent draft, I have added page numbers for easier reference. I will also be adding a section about access to wifi for those who do not have it.
I have also added to bottom of page of the Before You Start page: "So many times we hear of a specific need that went unmet, leading to tragedy, but we didn’t know in time to make a difference. This is not a lack of compassion, but of communication. This document is meant to help us develop and grow our channels of awareness and availability to efficiently respond to the hurting ones among us." (Thanks, Sarah!)
There was also an observation that the document is more "telling" than "invitational," which I can see. I'll do some re-wording for the next draft. (Thanks, Leon!)
There also could be a section on networking and volunteering with other churches/organizations that are already doing this.
