Praise the Lord Everyone, We are forming Resource Teams to help provide support, encouragement and connection to one another as we move through this unprecedented time. The idea is for groups of people who live in the same radius to be on a team. Each team will have a team lead, who will start a group chat (via texting, duo, zoom, etc) with their team members. Team leads will report out to the Resource Coordinators. Teams are a way of staying connected to one another, encourage each other with the word, a listening ear, and perhaps drop off supplies to someone who is running low. Keeping in mind, we are adhering to government officials. If we drop supplies off to someone, think of it as a ding dong ditch (drop the bag off, ring the bell, and leave). We want to do our part while obeying the laws of the land. If you'd like to be a part of our Resource Teams, please at email Sis Linda at: linmar78@gmail.com.
