Weather cancellations: Canceling worship on either Sunday or Wednesday due to inclement weather is something we take seriously and do not do easily. Christians need weekly worship to gather together to hear God's word. When the weather conditions lead us to consider cancellation, council presidents and Pastor will consult and try to make a timely decision so that we can inform the congregations before people start out on the road. Factors included are forecasts, road conditions, temperatures and wind strength. If a decision is made to cancel, we will make use of the church councils' phone lists. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding. The midweek services will be cancelled if that school is closed.

Christians don't take a Sunday off just because weather cancels worship! What can you do in such circumstances? Read your Bible, read the lessons for the day (listed on pages 13-31 of The Lutheran Book of Worship & the Celebrate, or click the button labeled ‘Lessons’ on this website), the lessons from the Daily Lectionary (LBW pages 178-192), or other Bible passages of your choice. If you use a daily devotional booklet, follow that. Use the LBW. PRAY/READ the order for that time of day (Matins-p. 131, Vespers-p. 142, Compline-p. 154) or the Responsive Prayer services on pages 161-164. Read or SING one or more hymns.

PRAY: Speak to God from your heart and mind and your words. Use the words of a great writer of the church by using prayers in the LBW (pages 42-53).

MEDITATE: on God's goodness and love in Jesus Christ and what the Holy Spirit is guiding you to say, do, and be. Plan to attend the Wednesday service if you can't worship on Sunday. (To purchase your own Lutheran Book of Worship, ask Pastor Paul.)

When worship is canceled or you miss a Sunday, your offerings are still vital! Please be sure to "make up" for any missed Sundays, and fulfill your pledge. The church's expenses continue even when we aren't at worship.
