Our worship sites are now equipped with AED’s.
(Automatic External Defibrillators)
If someone needs CPR, an AED can make a HUGE
difference in saving their life, BUT only…if the
person nearby knows how to use it. The Philips
AED was, “Designed for the ordinary person in the
extraordinary moment.”
We want to give everyone a chance to learn how to
use this, and will offer numerous classes throughout
the year.
Please call Mary Beth at the rectory and she will take
your name, email address, and phone number.
The first class will be limited to twelve people, but
we will have as many classes as necessary, so if you
don’t get in this first class, there will be more.
For more information, please contact Robin
McCracken at [email protected]
Or Mary Beth Rohrer at 610-857-3510.
