Weather & Worship

IMG_2617We have all struggled through severe snow storms this winter and many churches have cancelled Sunday morning worship.  Central’s archives do not reveal, in the over 150 years since our founding, that the church has ever closed its doors for Sunday worship due to severe weather.  In keeping with this long tradition, and in solidarity with Christians throughout the world, we will continue holding worship on Sunday mornings for those who are able to safely attend.  Clearly, if there is a parking ban, or unsafe driving conditions, worshippers will decide to stay home.  This offers a perfect opportunity for families to gather and for individuals to set aside a time to worship inside at home, sharing in prayer and offering thanks to God, perhaps singing a hymn or two, much as early Christians shared in house worship.

Additional Sunday morning programs and events such as church school, adult education, choirs, confirmation class, committee meetings, or luncheons may or may not be held during inclement weather.  Check with the designated leader to determine cancellation or postponement.
