In Case of Bad Weather:
If Pastor Mike can get to the church, he will conduct the service regardless of how few people show up. And if no one shows up, he will Livestream his sermon and his condensed version of the service from the church. Decide at your discretion whether or not to stay home and please be safe. But if we are in a storm warning or a snow emergency plan is in effect, the council and Pastor Mike will review and decide whether to close the church. If we decide to close, the Elders will call those on their list,. In that case, Pastor Mike will stream a condensed form of service from his home if he is able. If you do not get a call, you can call the church phone (301-739-5442) after 7:15 am that morning to get an updated recorded message or check Facebook about the decision made about the church service.
