Inclement Weather II

Everything is a go this morning!

I drove around the area early this morning and conditions were much better than I expected. I was amazed at the difference in snow accumulation from one area to the next and obviously some roads have been cleared better than others, but all in all I didn't have any problems. Of course everyone should use their own judgment.

The church parking lot is in good shape. The worship center is warm :)...

See you for Connect Groups at 9:30 and worship at 10:45!

Inclement Weather

The $64,000 question... will we have church services tomorrow?

The 99 cent answer... sure!

The plan right now at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday is that all morning services will take place as scheduled. I don't anticipate that to change. The parking lots at the church have been cleared. The city is working on the roads. Of course, if you can't safely get out then stay home.

If there is a change, I will post that change here.

By the way, here is our official inclement weather notification plan:

If it becomes necessary to cancel Sunday or mid-week services/meetings due to inclement weather, a cancellation notice will be recorded on our answering machine and will appear on our website at least one hour in advance of the service time. In most cases, a notice will also be aired on our local radio stations WHTH/WNKO and WCLT and posted on their website.

I look forward to seeing you in worship on Sunday! It is going to be a great day!

New Year's Eve

The wind is blowing so hard it's making the house sway... the temperature is falling... so is the snow... Last week's nice weather spoiled me. I guess winter is not quite over yet.

Nothing profound to say this morning (or most mornings). I will let yesterday's blog post stand for my New Year's Eve post.

But if you are looking for a good "New Year's Resolution Verse" take a look at this one from my devotion time this morning...

...The believers were walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. --Acts 9:31b NLT

If we all walked in the fear of the Lord and consequently in the comfort of the Holy Spirit next year, it would truly be a God honoring year!

Evening Worship

Thanks for all the new faces that came out our first Soma-Kristou worship service. I felt like we had a great spirit in the service. Good comments about the way we began and the question we focused on... The ending was great. It seemed like there were a hundred people on their knees gathered around the altar, some praying alone, some huddled with friends or family, all pleasing God with their devotion. I think some bowls were filled last night :).

This coming Sunday we will continue to focus on Romans 3-5 and the Calculus of Salvation. If you have a suggestion for our starting question, put your question in the submission box at the greeter station in the main worship foyer sometime between now and Sunday afternoon.

P.S. Could it really snow tonight? It is October! I guess I'm still not used to living in Ohio.
