Sunday Service Plan

Assessment and Decision Timing

• The decision to activate the Simplified Service will be made by 6 PM, Saturday, November 23.

• This will allow sufficient time for communication and preparation for both in-person and online participation.

• This decision will be based on the following criteria:

  1. Weather Conditions:

     • Accumulated snow greater than 20 cm.

     • Forecasted freezing rain or high winds creating dangerous travel conditions.

     • A Level 2 or higher city weather emergency declared by authorities.

  2. Road Safety:

     • Hazardous road conditions reported by local transportation or emergency services.

     • Risk of vehicles getting stuck or stranded in snow or ice.

  3. Travel Feasibility:

• Ability of the Pickup Truck Driver to safely transport the service response team to the church.

• 4. Congregation Accessibility:

     • The likelihood that a significant portion of the congregation cannot safely attend in person.
