• The telephones will be answered by a secretary during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and until 3:30 p.m. on Fridays. Although the office is closed on Mondays, staff will receive voice mail messages.

• After hours and at times the staff are at lunch or in a meeting, callers will hear a friendly message.

• The message will tell callers how to reach staff by extension (press 2), how to get directions to our church (press 3), and how to get information about worship and other activities (press 4).

• Callers may leave a message in the general mailbox by pressing 0.

• Callers may leave a personal message for one of the staff members by pressing the appropriate extension number.

• The secretary will be glad to take messages or to transfer callers to staff extensions or voice mail.

• If you call after hours, you may be able to reach a staff member by pressing the extension number.

We think this system gives us the ability to meet the needs of those who call our church and will actually enable callers to reach staff members who are here after the secretary goes home.
