We thank our devoted volunteers for helping us this past week and helping us manage our office needs going forward, including the March/April Koinonia (Newsletter). Considering our current office challenges, we ask everyone for your understanding, patience and cooperation as we are now again and very actively looking for the right person to be hired for this much-needed full-time position.
