Dear fellow parents/caregivers of ERUFF youth (past, present, future), 

The Youth Ministry Team is seeking your input related to youth programming at ERUUF. We are interested to know from a parent's perspective what has been our strong points, what's lacking and what we could be doing better. Thinking about RE, social activities, and the developmental needs of youth and parents related to spirituality, we have seven questions we would like you to think about and share your thoughts, insights, and dreams about.

Please complete our 10- 15-minute survey by Feb 1st to have your voice heard on this important piece of programming at ERUUF!
