]]> What About When It Snows? https://www.highlandgrovecity.com/blog/post/what-about-when-it-snows https://www.highlandgrovecity.com/blog/post/what-about-when-it-snows#comments Thu, 11 Jan 2024 15:55:48 -0500 https://www.highlandgrovecity.com/blog/post/what-about-when-it-snows As we enter the winter months, here's a timely reminder of our inclement weather procedure

While our desire is not to cancel any in-person weekly gathering, certain snow emergencies may require us to do so for obvious safety reasons. We will operate by the following guidelines in making cancellation decisions:

  • If Franklin County should ever declare a Level 2 or Level 3 snow emergency within 2 hours of the start of church-related activities, such as a Sunday morning service, all activities will be canceled.
  • There will be no cancellations if Franklin County should ever declare a Level 1 snow emergency or no official emergency. Personal wisdom and discretion should be used in choosing to attend.

In the event of a cancellation (for any reason), we will work to communicate through text, social media, and a banner on our website.

May any snow we receive this winter serve as a reminder of the Gospel – that in Christ, though our sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow!
