Hello all GCA members who are here on Facebook.
I sent out an email, but I want to make sure I catch as many of you as possible.
This is a very rare event. It's been years since we've had to cancel a Sunday Service. However, I just spent a half hour de-icing my car and then I drove the treacherous route between here and GCA. The streets are passible, but not clear. But, our parking lot is a solid sheet of ice. The temperature today is going to top out at 28, then it's down to 8 degrees tonight, and a high of 28 again tomorrow. So things won't start thawing until Monday, when the temps will reach the mid-40's. My concern is for people attempting to navigate that lot by car or on foot. We would certainly end up with stuck and stranded cars as well as people slipping and sliding. It's not worth the risk. So, I called Jeff and Tom and we agreed that safety was the best policy this weekend.
Now, here's what we need to do. There's no guarantee that everyone will read their email today. So you need to call everyone you can think of who regularly attends GCA and remind them of our plans to stay home tomorrow morning. Or if you realize that someone is not on the email list, please forward this message to them. I would hate for anyone to brave the elements and discover that they're alone. So call each other this afternoon and let's make sure that everyone gets the message!
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Be safe. Stay warm. Pray for one another. And we'll see you next week.
Oh, and by the way, we're still meeting on Wednesday, so if you miss being in church, come join us then!
Grace and peace,
Jim
