On behalf of the Music Committee we are pleased to present you with the included results of the congregational survey of the Music Program conducted in June of this year. The results were shared with Henry as they came in, so that he had the earliest opportunity to make any adjustments to his future music programming as might be appropriate.  

We believe the results in general reflect that the Music Program continues to be an integral part of life at Cedar Lane, and that the individual responses show that people have strong feelings about using music during Worship.
 
The survey was the result of the very hard work and considerable smarts of Leslie Backus, Susan Clark, and Ariel Mora.  At Ariel's suggestion we used  Survey Monkey to offer and analyze online responses.  We were very pleased with the result and recommend that the Cedar Lane consider use of this or a similar online service in conducting other congregational surveys.
 
The Committee conducted a substantially similar poll in February of 2009. Below is a comparison of the congregation’s answers to questions one and two as given then and now. Please click here to see a graphic representation of the results.
 
Enjoy!
