 IF DESIRING A VISIT: If you or a family member are in the hospital and you wish a visit, please contact the church office or any Deacon or Elder.  Due to privacy laws, the hospitals are not permitted to contact churches or reply to church’s inquiries.  If you know of anyone who needs or desires any other pastoral care, please also contact us.  During this time when we do not have a pastor, we should each do our part as Jesus designed to “carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”  (Galatians 6:2)
