We spoke too soon. As soon as the email problem was fixed, it re-appeared. If you need to reach anyone in the office, use Pastor Lee’s address for now, as his email appears to be working. Hopefully this will be resolved by the end of the week, if not sooner.
Email Problems RESOLVED
Betti Jo’s email is working now. If you sent email to the office administrator’s address over the past week and didn’t get a reply, it would be wise to follow up now.
Email Problems
Since late last week, the office administrator’s email address has had problems. It is apparently receiving all messages (although how would we know if a message doesn’t get through?) but can only send messages sporadically. We have a call in to Fidelity.
