Due to the winter weather conditions, the elders have decided to cancel the AM/PM service times on Sunday, January 25th, and do the shortened afternoon service at 2:30 PM with songs, collection, communion, reading and sermon.

With continuing weather, conditions will be re-evaluated in the morning, and if the plan for the 2:30 PM service needs to change, they will communicate that by 10AM.
