How do you notify the congregation when inclement weather becomes a concern? The senior staff should talk together about whether to hold services or not. They may decide to limit the number of early morning events on Sunday, so that people are driving later in the day. Or they may decide to cancel all events, children, youth and adults.

The best way to get the word out is to use all communication channels. Emails, social media and text messaging may be available. The challenge is to make sure that nobody braves the ice and snow to get there, only to realize that there is not going to be an event! All you can do is try!
