A Note of Thanks

Thank you to Jerome Rubin, Lois Jackson, and Yvonne Gates for creating and installing our new sign on the property across the street. In the past, the city incorrectly charged us for lawn maintenance. We pray our new sign will deter unwarranted charges in the future.

PASTORAL TEAM

A Pastoral Team has been put in place, consisting of Will Seifert-Kessel, Brenda Shepherd, Jon Benjamin and Anita Pruitt. You may contact any member of the team for pastoral support.

The need for volunteers is ongoing as we no longer employ a sexton. Your service in cleaning is always appreciated especially in the kitchen and bathroom areas. Many thanks to all who consistently help out in all areas.
