Our church community is comprised of a diverse group of people, many of whom live with allergies. Among the many possible allergen triggers are pets, aromatic scents, perfumes and colognes. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to "see" allergies until an allergic reaction occurs. We can, however,
do all we can to minimize or alleviate as many of the known triggers as possible.
In an effort to keep and maintain an allergy-free environment, we respectfully ask you to keep this in mind when you are planning to come to the church for worship or other activities held at the church. Let us strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all, including those with unseen allergies.
THANK YOU!

Have you ever noticed that it always seems to be the same few people who do most all the work around the church? Do you think it might be time for you to extend a hand? It will not go unappreciated and it will make you feel so good! We’d love to have your help.
