The extreme cold weather tomorrow morning, and the driving conditions near the church, are leading to some schedule changes for tomorrow. Your Vestry and I met this afternoon and came up with the following plan:

9AM---The regular 9AM quiet Holy Communion is cancelled; in its place we will have Morning Prayer on zoom at 9AM for those who don't want to venture out tomorrow. The zoom codes are included below.

10AM--The presentation on the Historic Structure Report is ON as scheduled in the church hall, while the Church School is cancelled.

11AM--The traditional Holy Communion service is ON as scheduled in the church, it will be a combined service with our friends from Westover Episcopal Church with Rev. Steve preaching and Rev. Becky presiding at the eucharist.

4PM--The concert with the USAF Langley Winds Quintet is ON as scheduled in the church.

Please use your judgement! If you are at all concerned about venturing out, please stay in, and join us if you'd like for Morning Prayer at 9 on zoom.

We're in this together.

Love,
Steve+
