**IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT**
We have been made aware of a scam email that has been created pretending to be Pastor Eli. The email address is [email protected] and this is NOT an email address affiliated with our church or pastor.

Emails seen this morning have been asking for help in secret, to communicate via email only and for help in purchasing gift cards. If you receive an email from this address, please disregard, do not reply and block the sender. This is a scam!

**UPDATE**

We are now being made aware that some members are also receiving texts from a number pretending to be Pastor Eli and asking if they got the email. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES! You should delete them and report and/or block the sender.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us. Thank you!
