FROM THE DESK OF THE
EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATOR

Good afternoon. I hope this email find you somewhere warm and safe! Isn't the cold outside amazing? I am certainly thanking God for furnaces and warm car heaters today!

We were planning on reopening the church tomorrow, but if you've been following the weather closely, the cold has other ideas! So, as a precautionary measure, we have decided to keep the church closed for two more additional days.

What does this mean? It means this: ALL programs scheduled at church on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 AND Wednesday, January 29, 2014 for the day and evening are cancelled. The church office will be closed during this time as well.

The church and the church office will re-open on Thursday, January 30 at 8:30 a.m.

We expect to be back to normal program and office hours on Wednesday.

Please see the note below issued by The National Weather Service. Stay warm and safe tonight through Wednesday!

Blessings,

Richard L. Schuler
Executive Administrator
