We had a wonderful time at our monthly ministerial prayer meeting Thursday morning at Covenant Community Church. A special thank you to Pastor Jeff Stanfill and his team for their warm fellowship and hospitality. Pastor Stanfill shared a powerful message on the importance of faith, drawing from the story of the lame beggar. We are grateful for the encouragement and unity these gatherings bring to our community.

"While we are flushing you may possibly experience lower pressure than normal and could have a tint in the water. If you use any water in your home during the posted flush times you may draw this water into your plumbing system. Toilets and hot water heaters have tanks that can keep this water around long after we are done. If you continue to have discoloration or cloudy water after the posted flush has ended, please let the cold water tap in your kitchen run for approximately 3-5 minutes. If the cold water in the kitchen is clear and the hot water and toilets still have a tint, they may require a brief flush. If any of these issues continue after the posted flush times, please call us at 225-925-2011."
