Have a great week!

Because Preble County is under a Level 3 (Red) advisory, we want you to be aware of a few things.

• Sacred Grounds will not be serving on Sunday mornings.
• We are arraigning the chairs in the Great room so there is more space between them.
• We continue to ask everyone to wear a mask upon entering the building with the exception of children under 10 and those with medical conditions that exempt them form this requirement.

Luke 3:11…If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.
