guidelines for grace activities in inclement weather

In case of threatening weather, especially if National Weather Service has issued a warning:
1. The Congregation Council President will consult with Pastor Dan and available Executive Team to determine with them whether to hold a scheduled worship service.

2. Watch TV (channels WHO 13 & KCCI 8) and listen to local radio stations (KWMT & WOI radio) for information about cancellations.

3. Attend worship or other activity only if you can do so safely.

4. If school is cancelled due to bad weather, Confirmation and Youth Group are also cancelled that evening.
