No Scents is Good Sense!  Many people are sensitive to scented products. Perfumes and other strong odors can cause severe allergic reactions. We ask that you limit the use of perfume, hairspray, cologne, aftershave, deodorants and other scented products out of respect for these individuals. Many, many thanks for helping in this way to make our church a welcoming place to all!
