AARON’S ELDER GROUP - WOULD YOU LIKE PASTOR TO VISIT? Please let me or Aaron know.  For those not in Aaron’s elder group, I am still available to meet with you, too.  My hope with a faster rotation is that visits and the care of your souls outside Sunday mornings will be a little more deliberate.  I have explained this more in the February Newsletter  Also, feel free to stop in during scheduled Office Hours, which are Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 - 6:00pm.  Thank you and God bless you.  Pastor Pautz
