Dear Family,
As we prepare for the approaching snowstorm that is forecasted to significantly impact our area, I want to share several important updates regarding our church activities and worship schedule. Please note especially that we will NOT meet in person for worship on Sunday.
Church Retreat – Saturday, January 24, 2025
The 2026 Church Retreat, scheduled for tomorrow from 9:00 a.m. to noon, will proceed as planned. We will begin promptly and conclude on time to allow everyone to attend to personal preparations ahead of the storm’s expected arrival Saturday evening.
Church leaders are especially encouraged to attend; however, all members are warmly invited and welcome. Even if you are unable to stay for the entire three hours, we encourage you to join us for whatever time you are able.
Retreat Agenda Highlights Include:
Continental Breakfast
Opening Worship and Prayer
Reflecting with Gratitude on 2025
Small Group Discernment Conversations
2026 Calendar and Key Milestones
Shared Goals for the Year Ahead
Sunday Worship – Zoom Only (No In-Person Service)
Out of an abundance of caution and concern for everyone’s safety, we will NOT gather in person on Sunday.
Instead, Sunday worship will be held via Zoom ONLY at 11:00 a.m.

I will conclude the sermon series “Songs in the Key of Life” with the message titled “Have a Talk with God.”
As you make plans for the weekend, please prioritize your safety and well-being. May we all be comforted by the promise of Psalm 91:11:
“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
Peace and Blessings,
Pastor Kip Banks, Sr.
