Worship Service Cancellation Information

With us being still in the Winter season, it is possible there will be other occasions we will, unfortunately, be forced to cancel worship due to inclement conditions. To ensure everyone is properly notified if we do have to cancel church, we would like to know how each of you would prefer to be informed, whether by phone, text, or email. Please feel free to let Tom or Debbie Izor, or Pastor Jon know. Thank you!

You Can Help Stop Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation and Abuse

Today's Second Reading from First Corinthians urges us to avoid immorality; one of the greatest forms of immorality which hurts and harms others is the abuse and exploitation of innocent people, especially children. Please visit the following websites or call the following numbers if you suspect someone is being abused, exploited, or trafficked, or to learn more about what human trafficking and child abuse is, and how you can help combat it. Also, if you suspect anyone you know is being abused or trafficked, please **immediately** contact your local law enforcement and/or FBI field office. Together we can carry out God's will for how He wants us to treat each other and end mistreatment and abuse of His children.
