Concerts On The Creek

On Monday July 15th, a phone was left beside the front door of the Spring Creek United Church of Christ at 4500 Spring Creek Road. We brought it inside, to keep it out of last night's torrential rain, and it is now stored in our office. The phone is password protected, and we have not figured out how to contact the owner. If it's yours, please email [email protected] or phone (815) 877-2576 to claim it. Thanks.
