We’re working on a plan to contact people, not to make them feel bad about not being able to attend worship, but to let them know their church cares. Please speak to Nancy Payne, Rev. Paul, Mike Warren or Pam in the office if you know of someone we should contact with a friendly hello. Any background info you can provide will be helpful as we work to do better at staying in touch.
