Members of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley’s Jehovah’s Witnesses churches have returned to their practice of sharing their message and free Bible-based literature at public locations.
Members of the church paused such outreach efforts during the coronavirus pandemic, but are now resuming them. Locally, church members have started setting up their cart at the Clarkston post office.
“I have missed the smiling faces and the greetings of those passing by,” said Linda Jusza-Schaff, a Clarkston resident and regular volunteer at the site, in a written news release sent by the church. “Our conversations, though brief, underscore the friendliness of our community and their interest in spiritual matters.”
