From the Council President
It has come to our attention that, on several occasions, doors have been left unlocked or opened after use. We want to gently remind everyone of the importance of ensuring the building is fully secured before leaving. Please take a minute to check that ALL doors are properly closed and locked each time you exit. This will help ensure the safety of our staff, members, and the church property.
