Resource Access

We are currently renting to two other churches each week at the Wolfe Street location. Therefore, we need to keep our resource equipment, which is located in the Library, under lock and key. If you need to make copies you will have to make arrangements to come during office hours or on Wednesday nights. We understand that this may be inconvenient for some, but this is a change that must to be made.
