“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”
Psalm 46: 1- 3

Cybersecurity Awareness Month
We’re talking about phishing over at the Cybersecurity Education program blog this week. Phishing occurs when a criminal poses as a trustworthy organization or person and tries to trick you into clicking a link or opening an attachment. They do this in order to steal your personal information or infect your device.
So, how do we recognize phishing? And what do we do if we’ve received a phishing message?
Read this week’s post to find out! Plus, we’ve got a video of a hacker in action, and a quiz that tests your ability to spot a phishing email (it’s tough!). Come on over >>>

We hope to see you at our employee worship service next Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 9:30 a.m. in Hostetter Chapel. Please join us for congregational hymns, scripture, a message by Stephen Gallaher, and special guests, The Barnyard Bunch.
