Church
Cancellation Protocol
When there is a threat
of snowy/icy conditions, the consistory president and pastor will check
weather forecasts & other cancellations via various media (TV, radio,
internet). They will call one another with this information. If the
conditions are deemed unsafe and other churches in the area are also
cancelling, they will make a decision by 6:30 AM Sunday morning
whether to cancel Christian education and worship. The consistory president
will call the other consistory members to inform them of the decision. If
church is cancelled, it shall be posted on WHBL radio station and
church’s website. Consistory members will create a phone tree to
contact families within the church. They will be assigned to call families
from a portion of the alphabet (i.e., Last names beginning with A-E; F-I;
J-L; M-P; Q-S; T-Z).
The
signup sheet for volunteers
wishing to help with shoveling
sidewalks this winter is on the table in the narthex. If you are able
please consider helping out with this task and signup for a week or two.
