Community Craft Days Resume
The next craft day is May 26th 2:00 – 8:00 pm. A light dinner will be served after 6:00 pm.
Safer Sanctuaries Training
This will be held alongside the Clover Garden One Council meeting (May 5th, starting at 5:30pm.) This is necessary to keep our vulnerable populations safe as possible when attending and participating in church sponsored services and activities. And to be compliant with new Safer Sanctuaries policies. If you can’t make this event, you can do the training online. Then print a copy of the certification of completion and return it to Heather or Mackenzie. They will follow up with you.
