Special Alert!

Most of you have heard that our church was burglarized late last Thursday evening. Several thousand dollars of equipment was stolen and many hundreds of dollars of damage was done.  The thief's gained access through an UNLOCKED DOOR! If you are a key holder, please be mindful of the responsibilities that go along with this privilege.

-         You must turn off all lights. Walk through the church and check to make sure all lights are extinguished.

-         You must lock all interior doors. Walk through the church and check to make sure all interior doors are secured.

-         You must lock all exterior doors. In order to ensure that this is done properly, please test the lock by turning the door knob. Then be sure to pull/push the door tight to make sure that the lock has engaged.
