The website's policy is to not identify those photographed in activities around the church. No one's personal e-mail address or phone number is listed; please direct inquiries to the church office.

From time to time, and surely on other sites, the information that you request will only be available in PDF format. This format was developed because in this format, documents look the same regardless of the browser or computer used. Essentially, each page in PDF is structured as a graphic--like a picture, but they load more quickly and are more versatile in how they may be manipulated.

To download such files, use the method that you would usually use to download any graphic. In general, you would right/control-click and hold down the mouse until a dialog box appears. Choose "save file/item/link to disk" to download the file onto your computer.

To view such files you need a current version of the Adobe Reader (aka "Acrobat Reader") which is free from adobe.com; please click on the graphic. The Reader is free.

All of us, no matter where we live, what kind of softward/hardware we prefer, or what speed of internet access we have, are potential targets of various internet "crimes of opportunity." The following reminders may be helpful.

It is prudent to install anti-virus/spam software and to keep it current. Your computer store/technical support can help you make a good choice of software. While Mac computers are not believed to be affected at this time, that could change, so Mac computers should be protected with adequate software as well.

Many code fragments that you do not want on your computer are distributed in e-mail attachments. Those who distribute such items often use very sophisticated methods, including co-opting the e-mail address book of an innocent computer that has become infected. For this reason, just because you know the individual named in the e-mail with an unexpected attachment does not mean that that person actually sent the e-mail. It is prudent to call the person when an unexpected attachment arrives (especially if there is no message, or just a brief one that is general in nature) and inquire.

No reputable bank, credit card firm, or online payment services such as PayPal ask you to verify account information through a return e-mail. If in doubt, e-mail the firm yourself (not by clicking on a link; type in the address) and inquire.

Offers from individuals asking for your help in retrieving funds stored in foreign banks, with a "reward" to you for your help are always bogus and should be ignored. Currently, those are mostly claiming to be from Nigerian citizens; in truth, the e-mails often originate from other countries.

Instruct your children and youth to never provide personal information in chat rooms, even those designed for young people. While many children and youth enjoy conversations there, they are a popular venue for adults who have an unhealthy interest in children to recruit victims. It is prudent to supervise your children's online time; such adults often use schemes that are too sophisticated for children and youth to understand the true intent behind their interest in your child.
