New Office Hours
Melissa Holmes has been promoted to Business Manager and will take over the duties of Treasurer. SPRB plans on hiring a person on a part-time basis to take over the daily duties of managing the office to free up Melissa for her new responsibilities. The church office hours have been changed to Monday-Friday, 9 am to 12 pm. This will be re-evaluated when the new office person is hired. At this time Melissa can still be reached at office@mtpisgahva.org and any changes to this will be communicated. If you are interested in helping with reception during office hours, please contact Melissa.
