For anyone coming to the church, please only access the church from the south on Maple Street. Maple Street is one-way only at Ames so you cannot access the church from the north.

Put down your phone!
For many of us, we find ourselves more and more drawn to our phone. It is a means of communication, notifications, entertainment, time-wasting, and the list goes on. Most agree that we are on our phones too much, and we cringe as we look at the screen-time record on our devices. What can be done about it? Besides personal discipline and sheer willpower, here are some tips to decreasing your screen time.
• Disable notifications - many apps grab our attention through pings and alerts. Disabling those notifications will lessen the interruptions.
• Uninstall apps - Some apps continue to ping us even though we don’t use them anymore! Uninstall them. You can always install them again in the future.
• Set boundaries and limits - use a kitchen timer to alert you when your screen time is up. Set a start and end time, for example, no phone within an hour of waking up or going to bed.
• Restrict functions - don’t use the phone as your clock, alarm, or go to for information. Ask a person first before asking Siri!
Whatever your relationship with your phone, we can always improve our habits and use of technology.
