Hey Friends--

It was only a matter of time until scammers started scamming with Pastor Heather.

She did NOT send out an email asking for the latest copy of our church directory. We both have digital access to that at all times.

AND the email signature/from line, is not kingave.org. That will always be our means of communication with you by email.

That's it. Don't fall for scammers--it only encourages them. Don't forget you are beautiful and beloved--always have been, always will be!

Hi! Hope you're well! May I send a brief email your way about a small matter? Thanks so much.

The cost to participate is $30 and lunch is included both days. Deadline to register is Thursday September 24!
