Health Ministry

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is celebrated on the 3rd Monday of January. It has been designated as a Day of Service. To honor this, what better way to serve others than to donate blood?  

Our blood drive will be Sunday, January 15, from 9AM to 1PM.

Please sign up on the clipboards being circulated during the church services. If the time you prefer is not available, please add your name to the alternate sheet and indicate your preference.

Blood is as perishable as it is precious. Whole blood only lasts 42 days. The supply of blood is used for emergencies, routine surgeries, and some on-going medical conditions. It is a life-saving gift!

Take a few minutes during Fellowship to view the video telling how blood donations have helped others. If you have any questions, please call Ruth at (916) 686-6046. Have a blessed new year....
