(Per Pastor Jon) *Any day not off I am available to meet and chat. Call, text, or email and
we can set something up. Otherwise, I’m doing research, preparing for sermons, current
and future lessons, etc. The specific times listed are when I’ll be in a set place.
I could be longer in those places, but those are the committed times. I am generally more
productive when I move settings frequently.

Personal Care Bag Project & Working Innovations
Following is an email we received from Valerie Lindstrom. She wanted to share this information with the congregation.
“The Personal Care Bag Project has worked with Working Innovations for many years. Yvonne Brady, administrator, sent me a letter she sent to legislators when I asked about the state of her agency. Read and share.
