Board of Managers will meet on Monday, March 15 at 8:00 p.m.
 

Automated External Defibrillator (AED)  The Congregational Life Ministry Team and the Board of Managers have decided to purchase an AED for the church in order to best prepare to Help in a heart emergency. These are now common in many public and community buildings.

An AED can be used by untrained people, but it is far better to have a trained person available. Our aim to have a cross-section of the Knox staff and congregation trained, but there is a per-person cost involved. To decrease these costs, if you have already been trained to use an AED, please let Grace know as soon as possible.

If you have not been trained, but would like to be, please also let Grace know -- we will select people for training to provide the broadest representation of the congregation.
