H1N1 Virus Safety
As you have probably heard in the news, the Swine Flu has arrived in Alaska. More and more cases are being reported everyday. If you or a family member have a high temperature (over 100.4 F) and two or more of the following symptoms, you may have the Swine Flu. Unusual tiredness, headache, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath, coughing or loss of appetite, aching muscles, chills, diarrhea or vomiting.
To help prevent the spread of this flu and to keep everyone as safe as possible, we ask that if you or a family member have the symptoms to not attend church until the symptoms have passed. The Center for Disease Control is now reporting that people who have had the Swine Flu are still contagious for up to 3-5 days after thier fever has broken.
To further help prevent the spread of this flu, we are placing hand sanitizers around the church. These are for your use. We will also be asking our children to use the hand sanitizer upon entrance to thier class.
Should you contract teh flu or become sick in any way, please let us know so we can put you on our prayer chain.

FOCUS: Renewing and regaining GOD’S VISION in our lives, identifying BATTLES we face, the enemy’s strategies, insights into how we gain VICTORY, and developing individual BATTLE PLANS to walk out. The retreat will have a mixture of teaching, small group discussions, small group prayer, and free time to relax and connect. If there are some guys you’ve wanted to connect or hang out with, feel free to get together and fill up your own 6 or 8 person cabin.
