Good morning! Ray Fox reports that the parking lot is clear. He salted a few spots that were icy. If you come to worship in-person, just be careful in case he missed a spot.
In case you want to stay home and worship remotely this chilly morning, here’s the link, which will go live around 9:35 or 9:40.

Fortunately, the worst of the weather missed us. There is just a light dusting of snow, no ice. MODOT reports that the roads are clear and the trustees report that the parking lot is clear. So today, January 2, we will gather to worship as usual.
That said, it is COLD! Actual temperature of 13°, wind chill of 0°. Use your own judgment. Feel free to stay home and watch the live stream:
This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Christmas. Epiphany is officially on January 6, but we will be celebrating it this week. Jonathan Kimball will be preaching, “Christ’s Light Shining Forth,” based on Isaiah 60:1-6, Ephesians 3:1-12, and Matthew 2:1-12. We will also celebrate communion.
Here is the live stream link:

which will go live around 9:35 am for our 9:45 service.
One final note: The weather forecast is a little bit iffy. Should we get ice or a wintry mix, the church leaders will consult and decide what to do. No news means we are still having worship. Regardless, the service will be live streamed, so make wise decisions concerning your ability to drive in the conditions.
Merry Christmas! We WILL have worship this Sunday as usual. Mary Kwantes will preach “All Things Change,” based on Matthew 2:1-23. We will also have a dramatic reading about “O Little Town of Bethlehem.”
Please join us Friday, December 24, at 6 pm for a candlelight service of lessons and carols. Bulletin attached. Remember that we are still following COVID-19 protocols that include masks. If you are unable to join us in person, join us online using the live stream link.
