If you are in need of assistance—such as a warm place to stay—or if you are able to offer help to fellow parishioners (housing, transportation on difficult roadways, or other support), please let us know by emailing the church office. Staying connected and caring for one another is especially important during times like these.

We want to share a quick update on the church campus following the recent winter weather. At this time, the building remains without power and is very cold. The parking lot and walkways have been icy and hazardous, and there are several fallen tree limbs across the property. The building has been checked multiple times to ensure doors are secure, faucets were managed appropriately, and the water has now been shut off as a precaution in case of a pipe break.
Some initial salting and scraping has been done around key entry areas, and we are coordinating with service providers for additional parking lot clearing, sidewalk treatment, and tree cleanup as conditions allow. Tree damage is being addressed on a lower-priority basis since nothing is currently blocking access to the building.
We are closely monitoring the situation and are hopeful that power will be restored soon. As soon as utilities are back online and the campus is safe and accessible, we will share an update—particularly as it relates to the possibility of resuming Sunday services and programs.
Thank you for your patience and care as we navigate conditions beyond our control. Please continue to stay safe, and watch for further updates.
