First Responders 2025 Leaders Needed

The Jarvis Annual First Responders Appreciation Lunch is scheduled for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (November 26). New leaders are needed this year. Katie Leegins-Vinson and Jonathan Soulen have led the past three years and are available every step of the way. However, it is healthy to rotate new leadership from time to time. Interested? Email Katie http://gmail.com or Jonathan http://gmail.com

We are celebrating the many important ministries Jarvis provides with an on-going video series. Check the Jarvis Facebook page. What ministry should we highlight next? Email Jonathan http://gmail.com for next steps!
