Common Grounds Coffee Ministry

Ladies… If you’ve previously signed up for the Common Grounds coffee ministry, please know that I haven’t forgotten about you!

With the busy holiday season, people traveling/gone/vacationing and such, I will begin reaching out to those on the list again in January, to set up coffee meetings.

I look forward to our one-on-one coffee meetings at BCC soon, to get to know each other better! Thanks- Jenn Elroy
