Notes: 

  • MASKS: We have a small startup supply of homemade masks, prepared as an additional form of community support and ministry. These were lovingly sewn by Meg Phillips. Each is packaged in a ziploc bag and they are available in the front hall of the church sanctuary (doors open 24/7). We hope to get them out to people who most need them. Some are being distributed directly, others are simply there for pickup. If you need a mask, and these are all gone, please contact the church.
  • SUPPORT: Do you need support of any kind? We have volunteers ready to assist with errands and other projects (via library’s Jackson Bridge listserv), access to emergency supplies, and Rev Gail is available for emotional and spiritual companionship. Email the church: jcchurch@jacksoncommunitychurch.org

The front door is open 24/7 and we need volunteers for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. We have Wednesday and Friday covered. Ideally, ring the bell at noon.
