Beware of "Staff" Emails that Don't Look Right
Please be skeptical of emails that appear to be from Rev. Ginny or other staff but ask for help in vague terms, ask for money, or otherwise seem "off." Phishing emails continue to circulate, appearing to be sent by our staff. Our office systems are being updated, which will help address the problem. In the meantime, please stay aware and delete and mark as spam any suspicious messages.
