A quick, anonymous survey. Not about putting anyone on the spot, just what you've noticed in the people around you, so our church can care for them better.
Many of us walk closely with people who are quietly carrying a struggle: a close friend, a family member, someone in our church family whose burden we sense even when it goes unspoken. This survey asks you to reflect on the needs and prayer concerns you have noticed among the people around you, in your close friendships, in our church, and in the wider community we minister to, so our church can understand real needs across our congregation and shape our support, teaching, and resources accordingly.
Completely anonymousNo one is namedNo sign-upNothing saved or sent
Your responses are completely anonymous. You are not being asked to identify anyone by name, only to share, in general terms, what you have sensed or noticed. There are no right or wrong answers, and nothing here is a diagnosis or a judgment of anyone. This is simply a way of listening well.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."2 Corinthians 1:3–4, NIV

Working Through Worry
A Sample Exercise from the Care Resource Library
DEMO SANDBOX. This is a sample from our Care Resource Library, shown here so you can see how it works. Nothing on this page is saved, stored, or sent to your church.
Naming what weighs on you is the first honest step.
Worry has a way of convincing us that thinking about a problem is the same as solving it. Usually it isn't. It just keeps the problem circling. This short exercise is meant to help you notice what's weighing on you right now and take one small, honest step with it.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."Philippians 4:6, NIV
