Please Protect Your Neighbor

Friends,

As we monitor the Covid virus, we see an increase in cases in our area and flu and RSV. Just a reminder that if you are not feeling well, even if you think it is something as simple as a cold, PLEASE STAY HOME and worship via Facebook. As usual, masks and hand sanitizer are available in several locations at the church. Let's keep everyone safe and healthy.

Help Needed

Help is needed transporting Kelly G. to work some weekday mornings, pick up time around 10:15 am, starting in January. She works at MOD Pizza at Keystone at the Crossing on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. Even help one day a week would be appreciated. You would be compensated. For more info, contact Jeff G.
