During the Advisory Committee meeting this past Sunday, the deacons worked through updating the Deacon Care Groups, and the updated lists for each of our current deacons are available in the Members' Section of the Blair Ridge website.
Even though the lists of people are now current, we still need your help to make sure the contact information in the Online Directory is correct. The deacons will use the phone numbers listed to call or text to communicate service cancellations due to weather, so it'll help everyone if we have current information. Please let Renee Palermo know if any changes are needed for your contact information. Thanks! - December: Incarnation Month
