Many of you know, our Council President, Anna Spring and her family (husband Justin, baby Oliver, Lupine their German Shepherd, and Evangeline their cat) have lost their home and most of its contents. There are two ways you can contribute:

First, is their Go Fund Me page. Here you may make a secure donation using your credit card.

Second, is by giving to the Rock of the Foothills Member Emergency Fund. There are enveloeps in our Narthex you may use to donate via check or cash. On the envelope you may indicate that your gift is intended for Anna and her family, or for the emergency fund in general. If you have questions about this, contact the church office.
