Helpful Resources During Challenging Times
Hello Friends,
As a commnity, we wanted to create a list of helpful links and resources for you to use and help you connect during these challenging times. These are resources meant to help uplift and help you find some light, joy, and connection even while you may be self-isolating at home. They are a compilation of sites and apps that have been helpful for members of our church family. We will add to this list as we are made aware of more resources:
