The AED can be found in the church crying room. As a reminder, we will be hosting an AED/ CPR training on Sun, 10/26 from 2-4 pm for free and would love for more people to sign-up to attend: https://forms.gle/QPtYEK7bQaHigxRX6 . It's imperative people know how to use an AED for this resource to be helpful to our community. Even if you don't feel comfortable doing CPR, learning how to work an AED can be lifesaving in an emergency!

- Cash or check which can be given to any of our volunteers or to the church secretary
- Come to our next blood pressure screening in the community center on Sunday, 9/7 at 10:30am to donate in-person
