Interim Grace Notes for December 23, 2022

Grace Weather Policy Will Apply to Christmas Schedule

Today (Friday) Sandusky County is under Level 3 Advisory. Here's the message from Sheriff Hilton on the department's Facebook page:

The travel conditions are still very treacherous. Please do not travel unless you absolutely need to do so. Sandusky County will remain on a Level 3. I will continue to re-evaluate the conditions throughout the rest of the day. Stay warm and stay safe.

Updated at 12:15 pm

As recent as yesterday, the church office was receiving calls asking whether or not we would proceed with our Christmas Eve services. It is my understanding that we will follow Grace's Inclement Weather Policy as posted on the congregation website:

  • LEVEL 2 – Please use your own judgment; we want you to be safe.
  • LEVEL 3 – WORSHIP CANCELED

Information about what level the county is at is available at the Sheriff Department’s recorded information line – 419-332-2613, or on the department's Facebook page, which you can view HERE.

My expectation is that conditions will improve beginning Saturday morning, and by the afternoon the Level 3 will be lifted, meaning that Christmas services will be held according to schedule. My recommendation is to use your best judgment if the advisory is Level 1 or 2. As our policy states, "We want you be safe." The 6:00 pm service will be on Facebook, beginning at 5:30 with the preservice music.

Christmas and New Year's Worship Schedule

Details about Grace's scheduled services on Christmas and New Year's Eve and Christmas and New Year's Day can be found on the current issue of Just Three Things, which you can view HERE.

Funerals Held and Scheduled

The funeral for Sharon Zilles was held Thursday, December 22 at Grace. Maureen and I co-officiated, with Maureen bringing the message. Maureen will preside at funerals for Ruth Kennedy next Friday, December 30 at Herman-Veh in Gibsonburg, and for Evelyn Taylor on January 5. Continue to remember the families of these Grace members in your prayers.
