This Sunday, January 29th, 2023 from 8:00 am – 10:30 am, our Urban Outreach Committee is co-sponsoring a M-Pox, Flu, and Covid Vaccine Clinic in Fellowship Hall at Shared Breakfast, our ministry that provides a warm meal to anyone that is hungry. We are partnering with Washington Department of Health and Birds Eye Medical for this vaccine clinic.
This clinic is open to the congregation and the community, in addition to our Shared Breakfast guests.
Walk-Ins are Welcomed and Encouraged. Drop-in before worship to receive any of these vaccines. If you would like to pre-register, please do so at this link.
If you are able to provide volunteer assistance at this clinic, please contact me at jackie@seattlefirstchurch.org
