You can be assured that the church office will be staffed to receive your calls and e-mails. And we promise that our leaders remain available to assist with any need that may arise. We encourage you to talk to one of our elders or church board members if you feel confused or unsure of what is happening. This has all happened quickly and there are bound to be questions and our leaders would be more than happy to talk to you. An item for your calendar. Plans are underway for an appreciation celebration for Loren & Carmen. Since they aren't moving away, we didn't feel the need to rush and throw something together last week, so we're taking our time and planning a nice event.
