I voted for the combined service but would like for that vote to be taken lightly...I think maybe some of those who prefer the contemporary service probably feel more strongly about it than I do, and I'd hate to risk alienating those people. But if there is one thing I took from this survey, it's that the sense of unity that sunday school is supposed to provide isn't there. And if we continue with the split service, that need should be addressed in some way.

Voted, but when I did, it showed up on the wrong category...must have clicked the wrong one by mistake. It counted it towards 9 am contemporary in the sanctuary where we would attend the 9 am, but because of work schedules we would not be doing that. It was meant to be a vote for a combined worship service which I would prefer regardless of work schedules. It just seems to me that we are regrouping right now anyways and coming together to reach out to the community under a new vision and are praying for more unity among us, that combining right now when our numbers are down anyways could really provide a spirit of unity that could really strengthen us to be most effective in carrying out the vision. Just my two sense...

I really like the contemporary worship service, so that's where I would prefer to go - regardless of whether it was in the sanctuary or in the children's building. But, ditto, I'll support wherever God leads us!

I voted for the blended service because I feel like it is easier for us to "be the church" when we are all together, but I recognize that I am a new member and not privy to the issues of the past. That said, I love FBC Benbrook and am committed to following our pastor in whatever ways God leads him. Thank you for being used of God, Bro. Todd!
