NJP Community
Announcements 3-20-20
North Jackson Press has tried to
verify the items listed in our Community Announcements to determine whether or
not the events have been canceled due to Cornavirus precautions. We were unable
to get in contact with some churches, and the situtation is changing rapidly.
To be on the safe side, contact event organizers before going to the event to
make sure they are still meeting.
