A SPECIAL NOTE – We receive many messages in the form of Texts, Facebook Messenger Messages, phone calls, and eMails. We have received as many as 4,000 in one week! Please make an effort to use eMail and send it to DaveWinstead@msn.com. Our files already contain hundreds of thousands of messages. The only manageable means by which to organize and respond to so many messages is to use eMail. Please heed this special request and please refrain from telephone calls. When we speak on the phone I have to record many notes concerning our conversation and there just isn’t enough time in the day to do it. Another special request is that when you send messages please refrain from using all capital letters. Often the information you send is passed on to others and it requires retyping to make it look professional which requires a lot of unnecessary time & effort.

Thank you all for your tireless and faithful service to our Risen Savior!!!
