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: [email protected]
- Jackson Public Library’s Guide to Online Services (activities, events, reading and information materials, etc)
- Conway Daily Sun’s list of virtual THINGS to DO
- Support Local Businesses doing Take Out. Complete list from Conway Daily Sun.
All Week: RING the CHURCH BELL!Would you like to ring the bell at church? We want to ring it every day, so we’re asking for volunteer bell-ringers. 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. If you want to be on the schedule to ring the church bell, please contact the church.
