ANNOUNCEMENTS for the Week of February 18th

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
