Scam Warning — Emails and Text Messages Masquerading as Pastor Amy
As a reminder, if you receive emails or text messages asking for a favor or gift cards, please do not respond or send gift cards. Pastor Amy would not reach out via email or text for these things. They would be regularly communicated in our church announcements if we were collecting them for a certain community or organization in need.
We know when someone reaches out pretending to be a pastor it is really confusing. It’s hard to know why people do things like this–but we do appreciate you being alert to the situation and cautious in your communications.
If you ever have any questions feel free to call the church office or Pastor Amy’s home phone on the weekend to check in.
