Pictures on the Greenwich Web Site - Our new Web Site is here!. There are pictures of church members on the web site. Face shots of adults in leadership positions are associated with names for ease of face recognition. Photographs of activities will be captioned with the activity, but not the names of individuals involved, and this is especially true of children. If anyone wishes to not have members of their family in pictures on the church site, please advise Jim Pittman at jpittman@greenwichpres.org or 703-743-5314.
