Help Us Make Room for Others
To help us love others well and create a welcoming experience for guests, we’re asking everyone to consider two simple ways to make room:
- Choose seats toward the front when you’re able, making space in the back for new families and those who need quick access.
- Move toward the middle of your row so open seats are easily visible and accessible.
These small steps make a big difference in helping us live out our vision of Loving Others and Reaching Out to our community.
