SUMMARY:Summer Hours for the Church Office
DESCRIPTION:As we have in years past\, beginning on June 15th\, the church office will be operating on our summer schedule. The building will be open Tuesday-Friday 10am-2pm and Sundays 8:30am-12:30pm. The office building will be closed on Mondays. Church staff will be working their usual schedules\, but having the office closed on Mondays will allow for rest and attention to the planning of big projects for the coming program year.\n\nAs usual\, if you need building access for when the office is closed\, please email Claire Amey\, at office@faithatfirst.com for a building code.\n\nThank you so much for the support of First Church Staff!\n\n– Pastor Britt
