On Sunday, September 21, between services – In Case of Emergency (ICE) packets will be distributed to help our Seniors keep vital emergency information readily available for their safety. The packet holds your emergency information like contact lists, medication lists, DNR orders and POA’s. There is a magnet so you can hang it on your refrigerator, where EMS are trained to look.
