Handicap Parking: Each of the two signs at the front of our carport is intended to reserve two spaces, for the four handicap spaces required by law. Please leave those spaces for vehicles with official handicap plates or cards. It would be frustrating for those who need them to find them blocked by non-handicap vehicles.

Or ask one of our ushers to park your car for you.Altar and Cleaning Volunteer Schedules for 2019 are posted on the bulletin board on the north wall of the kitchen. Volunteers are appreciated!
