As of Thursday night, our entire region is under blizzard or winter storm watches. Congregational leaders, in preparation for the winter storm, please consider taking note of where your most vulnerable live, both members and those closest to your congregation, and how you might check on them. Also, if there are power outages, please consider opening your doors to be a comfort center. Comfort centers are short term shelters that have important amenities like power and heat (when others may not) for staying warm, and for charging cell phones. If you consider doing serving as a comfort center, it is important to let your municipality know.
