Broken Cement and Brick Pavers in Front of the Church & PLEC
Please do not drive up to the building onto the cement, brick pavers, or grass around the front, sides, and courtyard of the Church or PLEC buildings.
These areas aren’t constructed to withstand the weight of a vehicle and some areas have water pipes running under them. The repairs to these areas with pipes have already been costly due to vehicles driving up to the buildings.
The ramps were installed for handicap accessibility, to assist funerals and deliveries via hand truck.
If you require assistance with picking up or dropping items off, please park at the curb and come to the office. We are happy to help.
Thank you for your assistance.

We Are Still Collecting Sneakers
Military/Veterans/Families Outreach supports a FIRST Robotics team connected with our National Guard families.
Funded by donations and grants, one of their fundraisers pays them for recycling sneakers! The better the pair’s condition, the more money they are worth. We’ll accept any size sneakers (adults and children's). Great condition sneakers get resold, the less than perfect are cut up and recycled for materials, saving our landfills.
Please leave your Sneakers Only donation in the Stewardship Office. Thank you!!

Emergency Blood and Platelet Shortage
CRISIS: Low Blood Supply
This is serious. The Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. The dangerously low blood supply levels have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants. Your donation is desperately needed.
