ATTENTION: ROTA SERVERS!

Here is the January-February 2023 ROTA. Since I worked from home this week, and it is the beginning of the new year, there are obviously some things that need to be adjusted on this ROTA. When I receive all the information I need, I will revise the ROTA.

Thank you! Sharon Seidel

If you are gone on your scheduled Sunday, please find a replacement and also let me know by Thursdays at 10 am.
