A Message from our Finance Team
Dear members and friends of the Fairfield Grace church family,
We hope and pray that this note finds you and your family well. We are pleased to see so many of you attending our Sunday services on Zoom. And we know that many of you are happy that we will be having services in our church building once again. We also thank you for continuing your giving to the church either on line or by mailing in your checks on a regular basis.
If you attend the service at the church, please place your offering in our offering box as you go in. For safety from spreading the virus, we are not allowed to pass collection plates as usual.
Also, if your giving has gotten behind over the summer. We need you to catch up if possible. We were fortunate to get government payroll protection money. But that is used up. A new government stimulus package is tied up in congress. And even if they pass one, we do not know if churches will be included.
Take care, stay well, wear masks when in public, wash your hands, etc. You know the routines, and that is why infection rates in Fairfield remain very low. We hope to see you soon.
