Do You Have Questions About the
Affordable Care Act?
Are you required to have health care insurance coverage? As a small business owner are you required to offer insurance to your employees? How much will the insurance cost? What kinds of services will be covered? These and other questions will be answered at our Affordable Health Care Symposium, to be held on Sunday, October 13, 2013 at 1:00PM.
There will be licensed agents here to answer your questions, and to do actual cost analysis and sign-ups through the New Jersey Health Insurance Exchange. Please come out and participate in the symposium. You can call the office at 201-568-3410 for additional information.

Please search your hearts and your cupboards to help the needy. There are many
problems in the world that we can not solve, but hunger in our own community is not
one of them! We can stamp out hunger in Bergen County if we all pitch in and do
our part. Please consider contributing food to the Center for Food Action. You can
put food donations in the large container near the steps in the foyer. We thank you
and your neighbors will thank you also.

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise
them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to
each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a
righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:15-16 (NIV)
