  2. Be cautious when receiving messages from individuals claiming to be church staff. False emails and texts are becoming increasingly common. Some of these messages appear legitimate, but they’re not from church staff. If you receive an unusual message requesting money, gift cards, or personal information, verify it with the church first.  Contact the church office or a staff member before responding.  Let’s look out for one another.
