You know those movie franchises with the bad sequels? We are cancelling church, again, this Sunday, February 1, 2026 because of the forecast of unsafe conditions. The forecast is from Dr. L. Ray Hoxit, PhD, a meteorologist (you can even Google him), and my dad. He pointed out that even though the snow will have stopped, the wind will still create drifts, and it will remain dangerously cold. So stay safe, stay warm, and drink more cocoa!

Church Services cancelled tomorrow, January 25. Stay Safe!
