LEARN MORE ABOUT WHO WE ARE

With our church temporarily suspending most worship and activities, we are sharing these Worship Moments with Pastor Debbie and Music Team Leader Steve each week until we can once again gather together. We hope this will provide you with comfort and a time for reflection. To see previous weeks' messages, go to our Facebook page or https://vimeo.com/fairlawnwest.

Mask updates

Wearing masks in public has been mandated by state officials as we continue to fight against the COVID-19 virus. We have a member who is making face masks, and another who has N95 material and a pattern for those interested in sewing masks. If either of these interest you, please let us know, and we will make arrangements to get the masks or materials to you. Secretary Susan Kolarik is heading this up for us. Contact her here.

GapPack is back!

GapPack is up and running! We are providing weekend food bags to 16 children with enough food to also feed a sibling. If you would like to donate food, click here for a list of items frequently included in the GapPacks. If you prefer to let us do the shopping, please make your check out the church with a note in the memo section “GapPack.” Your donations to this mission are always appreciated!
