By now, all parishes should have received their Natural Church Life Survey
(NCLS) Community Connections Pack in the mail. The packs are a valuable resource that can help your church connect more effectively with people in your community.
Every church is situated in a particular neighbourhood. For your church to connect with the community in which it’s located, you need to know that community. The
NCLS Community Connections Pack can help you do that. It’s a 28 page colour report uniquely designed to provide a snapshot of the people living in the local community around your church building.
If you have received an NCLS Community Connections Pack, please remember to send your response card back to NCLS , indicating if your wish to keep and use the pack or return it in the postage-paid envelope included. Sending the packs to each church is a large trust exercise for NCLS and therefore your response is important.
