WE WOULD PREFER YOU USE THIS OPTION, IT’S QUICK AND EASY.

Next, using the “Find a Church” search bar at the top of the page, enter “Fountain of Hope AME”.

7. CLASS LEADERS: ALL Class Leaders are asked to assist in keeping in touch with our members during this time. Please make daily/weekly phone calls to members in your class. We want to make sure they are ok. If any of your members are on the sick and shut in list, please be mindful and check on any specific needs they may have regarding their welfare. Please let the Stewards know of any issues in that regard. We want them and all members to know we are concerned for their welfare.

We want to stay together and unified as a church family. Please be sure to check your email, church’s Facebook page and website to stay informed and updated. If you have not been receiving email from the church, please contact the Church Office (702-798-3949) to insure we have your current email address and contact information.

I Corinthians 14:40 (NKJV) says: Let all things be done decently and in order. It is my desire and prayer that during this period that as the Faithful Followers of the Fountain we will operate out of this spirit.  Let’s keep our city, state, country, nation and each other lifted in prayer.

This Too Shall Pass,

Gregory Keith McLeod, Senior Pastor
