This past Sunday, January 7 we opted not to ask our church family to venture out on the black ice in the frigid weather. I know that there were some hearty souls who were up to the challenge. In this case, we felt like wisdom was the better part of valor. We heeded the news alerts and advised our church family to stay off the roads whenever possible. We knew the main roads were passable, but many of the side streets were still treacherous. The church parking lot was completely covered; the front porch and the sidewalks were solid sheets of ice. We had two church members that we knew about who had slipped and were injured due to the ice. We heard of one friend who fell and broke both wrists. Not worth it, not gonna do it, nuh uh, no way. We want you and your families safe and sound. It is never an easy call to not have a worship service whether because of snow and ice or tropical winds. Please remember the words of our Lord: “The Sabbath was made for you not you for the Sabbath”. When we made the decision, I told Pastor Sean my only regret was that we did not have a truck to go around spraying some sort of deicer on the drive ways of our members. Anyway, it is over, thank you Lord Jesus, it is over. The snow was beautiful; I thoroughly enjoyed it and am ready to resume our regularly scheduled activities.
This Sunday, I am beginning a series on Christ Alone. My scripture passage will be Acts 4:1-12. The memory verse will be verse 12: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Do we really mean Christ Alone? Yes we do. Join us Sunday for Bible Study and Worship.
