Marbury Church of God

About 15 people gathered at the church on the evening of December 18 and went out Christmas caroling. Forecasts called for snow late in the evening, but we enjoyed singing for several seniors in their homes, and one in a nursing home (where other residents gathered in the hallway to listen). It’s hard to overestimate the joy that comes into the world when people care enough to make the effort to do even such a simple thing. May Christmas be in our hearts, and a song on our lips, throughout the year!

By late evening the snow had begun falling, and forecasts were upgraded to a blizzard for Saturday (today), possibly a record-breaking storm for the area with up to two feet by Sunday morning. As I write this, before 8 a.m., six or more inches is on the ground and the heaviest snowfall is only just getting started!

Below are  announcements which include delaying our Christmas program by a week, in light of this severe weather forecast.

Scheduling notes:

The children’s play dress rehearsal scheduled for today, December 19, will move to next Sunday morning, December 27 at 9:00 a.m.

On schedule for Sunday, December 20 are the children’s Christmas play, the Christ’s Birthday Offering, and our monthly compassionate ministries food processional. In the likely event we are closed for snow that day, all of these will happen instead on Sunday, December 27.

Our Christmas Eve candlelight service will still take place on Thursday at 6:00 p.m.

Pastor Bob says:   Stay safe, stay snug, and enjoy some “in” time with your families!  God is good, all the time (even in the snow)!
