Assisted Parking Ministry

We offer an assisted parking ministry staffed by friendly volunteers. This “valet service” is available for anyone facing mobility challenges, safety concerns, or bad weather—so don’t let those keep you away! Simply pull up under the east canopy door and wave. No notice is needed.

The service runs 15–20 minutes before and 10–15 minutes after the traditional Sunday service.

Ask the Doc

Retired physician Max Hammer will be available to answer general health and prescription questions. No appointment needed—just drop in at 1 pm. Blood pressure checks, weights, and oxygen counts will also be offered. Bring something to write on if you’d like to take notes. Please note: no personal medical information will be recorded or kept by the church.

Upcoming Dates: Sept. 16, Oct. 14, Oct. 28
