Although the predicted snow fall amounts vary, ice is also part of this advisory; so we are erring on the side of caution and encouraging people to stay home.

When There Is No Room…
What Do the Shepherds Say?
When you are right in the middle of life,
full of work matters,
keeping watch over all your stuff,
and experiencing anxiety,
how does God break through to you
Listen to The Shepherds.
They’ve been there before.

Think About These Things
When you are anxious and overloaded with too many things to worry about,
Paul has some advice on what to think about.
Spoiler: “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” ~ C. Ozick
