Legal problems only get worse with time and justice delayed is justice denied.

Communion Sunday
Communion Sunday
Communion Sunday On The First Sunday at 9:30 AM Communion, as we call it, is known by many names. Some call it Holy Communion, others call it the Eucharist, and others call it the Lord’s Supper. Regardless of the name we call it, the commemoration of the sacrificial death of Jesus is the most widely observed tradition and the sacrament of the Christian church. This Sunday, let's gather together and remember His sacrifice. The elements will be passed during the service in the auditorium. Glutton Free Crackers will be available at Guest Services upon request. If you are joining us ONLINE, please prepare your element and join us as we take communion together.

Hesed House
Hesed House
God is Good! Effective this month Ginger Creek is back at Hesed House serving on a limited sign up volunteer basis. The information below will provide you with probably too much detail. In order for us to meet the requirements, I have set up a Goggle Doc for you to sign up. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hT8IHIBGxaQi_NywZ9jAwCRACZqsiMtsnQ5Iw6j7liQ/edit Volunteers coming to Hesed will need to update their volunteer profiles with the date of their final vaccination before coming to Hesed. The links below are for updating an existing volunteer profile, or creating a new one! Volunteer Profile Update Link – Note: this will likely involve resetting/creating a password. If volunteers are new to Hesed or didn't have a profile from before, the new volunteer application link is below: Volunteer Application - Hesed House Family Shelter Volunteer dinner shift information: The volunteer shift is from 4-8 p.m. for up to 4 total volunteers in the kitchen/program area. The Family Shelter will return to its 6 p.m. serving time. The volunteers can actually come as early as needed to have the meal hot and ready for 6 p.m.! The 6 p.m. serving time works best for the Family Shelter, because it allows the children an extra hour to sleep. Up to four fully vaccinated, adult volunteers age 18 or over, can serve in the family shelter kitchen/program area. If the group is grilling outside, an additional 1-3 vaccinated volunteers can do the grilling on the Family Shelter grill outside! After the meal is served, the volunteers are asked to leave the kitchen a little cleaner than they found …
