Worship news and notes
Gwynedd Square Presbyterian Church
is hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, August 10, from 2to 7 p.m. With the ongoing pandemic, many usual Red Cross collection sites have been closed. In part, this has created a critical supply shortage of blood donations. It is best to make an appointment but the Red Cross will take walk-ins if not too busy. They are asking people who feel ill in any way not to donate blood. Face masks must be worn and temperatures will be taken at sign in. Please contact blood drive coordinator, Jennifer ClementsRhoads at (215) 661-1300 to make an appointment. Please consider donating blood.
