Dear Church Family,
As the information continues to roll in regarding a large storm forecast for this weekend, the pastoral staff is watching and reading to make sure we have the latest information from trusted sources. The decision on whether to hold or cancel worship services when facing inclement weather is always made with two things in mind. First, we care deeply about the safety of our congregation. The safety of our congregation will always be our primary goal when deciding on whether to hold services. Second, our commitment to providing a worship experience as a key element for spiritual growth and discipleship. We believe strongly in the benefit of worshiping together as a community, and that we have a responsibility to do so. If there’s any way for us to safely provide a worship service, our commitment is that we will do so.
Where you’ll find the status of the upcoming worship services:
We do our best to push out information as soon as possible. However, you will always find the latest information in four places:
The Church Website
Look for the colored banner at the bottom of the page. Along with the information within, the color is an indicator for what’s happening as well. Green means worship is happening. Yellow means, we’re watching the weather and will make a call on Sabbath morning, Red means it’s canceled for the week. If it’s canceled or postponed, please be on the lookout for alternate arrangements, either for online worship, or for a trimmed schedule (perhaps only second service).
Social Media
We will update our public Facebook page, as well as our Facebook Community Group with the latest information. Look for updates on Instagram and Threads as well.
Weather Email Autoresponder
Sending an email to weather@spencervillechurch.org will trigger an autoresponder reply with the latest information on our worship services. Note that this isn’t an email list, but an automated response. Updates from this email will only be sent when an email is sent to trigger the autoresponder.
An All-Church Email Blast
If the weather is severe and church is canceled, you’ll hear from us via all of these channels. However, there will be an official email sent from the church advising you of the cancellation from the Weekly Update email address. Please make sure that you are able to receive updates from Spencerville Church by “whitelisting” the spencervillechurch.org domain with your email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.). If you’re not sure how to do this, here’s a helpful walk-through: How to Whitelist an Email Address.
